The bill introduced by Liberal Congressman César Neves almost three weeks ago is now undergoing a motion to vote in Federal Congress. The Congressional Corporate Donation Transparency Bill proposes to make representatives’ donations from corporate sources publicly available and transparent. Premier Federal politics show HARDTalk this morning debated the implications of the bill, with former Liberal Congresswoman Ailana Middlebrooks stating:
“Well obviously the Republicans are scared, otherwise they’d be pushing for this vote so they could get it off the table. The fact that they’ve been filibustering it for this long indicates that they’re concerned that not all party members will fall in line.”
The debate opposition, former Republican Congressman Akash Bali, countered: “I think we can all agree that this Liberal notion is just a huge waste of time. The Federation doesn’t need another layer of red tape.”
If the motion is carried the 213 Liberal representatives will be aiming to get Congress’ 49 Democrats on side in order to defeat the 238 Republican party in an upcoming vote.
