  1. Lord Mandelson, Dear Sir,
                 I have admired your intellect whenever i have heard you speak. i have noted large donations  from city financiers and rich idividuals to MP's over the last 4 years  all registered quite properly.In business i was not allowed presents etc and had to sign a conflict of interest agreement to prevent outside interests affecting my decisions.Yet in parliament the mother of democracy i see very large sums being given and this appears to be acceptable.If one of these MP's becomes part of  government would i be naive in thinking these donations may be remembered.Even if they are declared and whether declared or not influence the individual and party who recieves them.This to me leaves our democratic parliament somewhat open to rich people influencing government policy whoever is in power.

                                                    Yours Faithfully
