So there's still a bit of scope for large donors the have undue influence, although that is now mitigated by compulsory declaration of large donations.

Thanks for that information, Paul - as I said in an earlier post, I knew that they were discussing bringing in limits on campaign spending following the "cash for honours" thing, but I didn't know that it had actually been implemented. I'm happy to hear that it has been.
