Rae is looking for a longer list to dun for donations. By allowing a supporter cateory with voting rights, the Liberal Party membership becomes worthless.The most effective way to stifle democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: activist judges, human rights tribunals, parliamentary committees, civil service bureaucrats and political party hacks.
