Now here's an interesting one. A Labour peer could be facing expulsion from his party after allegations were made that he gave money to fund a Liberal Democrat's successful election campaign. Apparently, Lord Haskin gave £2,500 to LibDem Danny Alexander, who went on to beat a Labour candidate and is now a Scottish MP.
The fundamental question: should people be allowed to give money to whichever political party they please? And another: why would a Labour peer give money to a Liberal Democrat candidate?
Can you make any sense of this?

Yes they should be able to give money to whoever they wish. But political parties should also be free to expel members who decide to fund their opponents
I'd be interested too to know the reasons behind this bloke giving money to a Lib Dem.. :chin:
