Clientelism and cronyism in UK politics will continue without significant reform
Accusations of cronyism and clientelism don’t seem to be going away for Labour. Tulip Siddiq’s recent resignation over an anti-corruption investigation in Bangladesh is just the latest incident. Joseph Ward and Bradley Ward argue that there are structural issues that explain the regularity with which such cases plague governments, and that only deep structural reforms over funding and transparency can help prevent them in the future.

Abstract

Joseph Ward and Bradley Ward argue that there are structural issues that explain the regularity with which such cases plague governments, and that only deep structural reforms over funding and transparency can help prevent them in the future.
