About this listen

 The 'Good Chaps' theory holds that those who rise to power in the UK can be trusted to follow the rules and do the right thing. They're good chaps, after all. Yet Britain appears to have been taken over by bad chaps, and politics is awash with financial scandals, donors who have practically bought shares in political parties, and a shameless contempt for the rules.

Simon Kuper, author of the Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller Chums, exposes how corruption took control of public life, and asks: how can we get politicians to behave like good chaps again?©2024 Simon Kuper (P)2024 Profile Books Ltd Corruption & Misconduct Europe Great Britain Politics & Government United Kingdom Taxation Socialism

I found this to be enjoyable and insightful, it’s a real look into the corruption of fund raising in UK politics.
