The current situation is clearly not working. How would you improve it?
Trade Union donations pay for policies and for Labour MPs to lobby for them. IIRC They also pay the office expenses for some MPs and in at least one case for a particular person to be selected as a candidate.
At the very least there should be acknowledgement that being an MP is an unusual situation and environment that doesn't have any real comparisons.
