Ban ministers from foreign lobbying to ‘Trump-proof’ politics, Lib Dems say
Ministers should be barred from lobbying on behalf of foreign leaders in order to “Trump-proof” British politics, the Liberal Democrats have argued.
Calum Miller, the party’s foreign affairs spokesperson, warned of a “creep of cronyism” into UK and global politics in his speech at the Lib Dem conference.
He called for ministers to change the law, banning Government figures from lobbying on behalf of foreign leaders...
He added: “We must protect our politics from the insidious creep of cronyism.
The underlying problem here is that the Lib Dems feel left out, they aren't involved in cronyism because they don't appear to have any cronies at all - not one worthwhile crony. Almost as if nobody really likes Lib Dems. I'm sure that's not so, but collectively there is something a little off about them.
It's not that they don't want cronies, but unfortunately there is a playground aspect to their politics - the Lib Dems don't have any cronies so they don't think anyone else should have them either.
Apart from power cronies of course -
