The bit in the article that amuses me is the list of all the countries that “donate” to MPs. Mostly oil states, Human rights abusers etc and San Marino!
Imagine all your fellow MPs on the gravy train getting luxury trips to the Middle East and your getting twenty quid from from the Sammarinese government to buy yourself a cuppa. I suppose at least their not human rights abusers though.

They make their trades people, butchers and driving instructors turn out for the football team. Tell me that's not abuse

It’s made me wonder about creating some sort of traceability matrix. Like a table that shows the country, the MP, how much was “donated”, then the effect; what did they say, campaign for or vote on in the interests of the donor? Clearly that last column is the hardest part though! Maybe crowdsource that bit…
