So what's the actual difference?
The main complaint is that they shouldn't have the time to do other things, paid or UNPAID. Just because something is unpaid, doesn't mean they haven't gained from it(eg getting selecting as an MP in the first place).
So nobody had a problem with Labour's "cash for ANSWERS", with 6 or 7 figure sums handed over to buy laws and polices, and that's before you include Trade Union donations. How many prosecutions were there over the £650,000+ of ILLEGAL 3rd party donations? Take a wild guess. The list goes on and on.
