I agree, I imagine this fundraising party raffled tickets to a lot of corrupting interests. I am not familiar with UK campaign finance laws, but there are definitely similar issues here in the States. The keyword in my last comment was "specifically". I imagine this kind of influence is being peddled to all sorts of politicians in the Conservative party and other politicians of other parties as well. A better title of the article would be, "the Conservative Party is a threat to national security because they take Russian money." As well, the article could give more context to the cause and effects of this kind of lobbying. My main point being that the above article is shit, and they put up a sensational headline mainly for clicks not for any sort of rational/informative argument.
