Senior coalition MPs are paired with big businesses. Our MP Hugo Swire is buddied with Proctor and Gamble – a US company.

In April 2011, P&G was fined 211.2m euros by the European Commission for establishing a price-fixing cartel in Europe along with Unilever, which was fined 104m euros, and Henkel (not fined).

Though the fine was set higher at first, it was discounted by 10% after P&G and Unilever admitted running the cartel.

So what exactly do WE get out of them being buddied?
