What would happen if only voters - not unions or businesses - could donate to political parties? A plan to do exactly that exists, if the government wants to try it.
The article actually says Labour would be a big loser, because a significant portion of their donations (which are already much lower than National/Act) come from various unions.
Sadly, this is just a pipe dream… not going to happen under National, since they’re the biggest beneficiary of current policy (along with Act).
Probably wouldn’t happen under Labour either, mostly because of the shitstorm it would stoke.

True, although that might be offset by National getting a lot less.
