David Cameron's Tories in 'cash for access' backlash as donors pay £50,000 to have 'Dinner with Dave'

卡梅倫宴請(qǐng)富豪 每人收5萬(wàn)英鎊入場(chǎng)費(fèi)

A billionaire playboy and a Russian oil tycoon were among dozens of mega-rich Tory donors who dined with David Cameron and his party pals this summer, explosive new documents reveal.
據(jù)最新消息，今年夏天，幾十名保守黨捐款巨頭與英國(guó)首相卡梅倫及其他保守黨政要共進(jìn)晚餐，其中不乏億萬(wàn)富翁和俄羅斯石油大亨。

A list published by the Conservatives today named more than 40 donors who paid at least £50,000 to attend “Dinners with Dave”between July and September.

一份保守黨13日出臺(tái)的名單顯示，超過(guò)40名捐款巨頭曾在7月到9月每人支付至少五萬(wàn)英鎊與卡梅倫共進(jìn)晚餐。

They included Alexander Temerko, the energy tycoon wanted in Russia on fraud charges, and billionaire art dealer James Stunt, whose wife Petra is the daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone.

其中包括被俄羅斯以欺詐罪通緝的能源業(yè)巨頭特墨科(Alexander Temerko)，以及億萬(wàn)身家的藝術(shù)品商人詹姆斯·斯湯特( James Stunt)。斯湯特的妻子佩特拉是一級(jí)方程式賽車(F1)老板?？巳R斯頓( Bernie Ecclestone)的女兒。

The group has given the Tory Party a monster £17.4million since 2010.

從2010年起，這些巨頭向保守黨捐款超過(guò)1740萬(wàn)英鎊。

Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Jon Ashworth fumed: “David Cameron leads a party with an ever-greater reliance on big money from a small number of mega-rich donors. Ministers’ dinner dates with donors are boosting Tory coffers.”

工黨的影子內(nèi)閣辦公大臣喬恩·阿什沃思( Jon Ashworth )對(duì)此表示震怒：“卡梅倫領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的保守黨越來(lái)越依賴于少數(shù)捐款巨頭，通過(guò)‘部長(zhǎng)-巨頭晚宴’獲取的捐款已成為保守黨的重要財(cái)源。”

The revelation comes as political parties prepare to publish the latest batch of donations on Thursday. It is expected to show that Tory finances were swelled further by cash from some of the richest men in Britain.

這份文件是在政黨準(zhǔn)備出臺(tái)最新捐款名單時(shí)公布于眾的。英國(guó)一些巨富的捐款進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大了保守黨的金庫(kù)。

But the party offers special privileges to anyone who pledges at least £50,000 a year. It buys access to the elite “Leader’s Group” of donors, who are invited to dinners with the Prime Minister or other top Tories.

但是，保守黨為每年貢獻(xiàn)至少五萬(wàn)英鎊的捐獻(xiàn)人提供特權(quán)。他們可以進(jìn)入“捐款精英小組”，有機(jī)會(huì)與首相及其他保守黨高層共進(jìn)晚餐。

This summer’s dinners were attended by the most senior Tory ministers. The Tories were tonight battling claims that the dinners are used by rich backers to try to influence party policy.

參加今夏“晚餐會(huì)”的大多是保守黨的高級(jí)部長(zhǎng)。保守黨近日抨擊了“巨頭通過(guò)晚餐會(huì)操縱政黨政策”的斷言。

Since coming to power, the Coalition has slashed the top rate of tax for society’s richest, while cutting corporation tax repeatedly.

執(zhí)政以來(lái)，保守黨聯(lián)合政府不斷削減高收入群體的稅收，同時(shí)反復(fù)下調(diào)企業(yè)所得稅。

Mr Ashworth raged: “The Tories are wining and dining the very millionaires given a tax cut by this Tory-led Government.”

阿什沃思十分憤怒：“保守黨和少數(shù)巨頭們?cè)诓妥郎线_(dá)成了削減稅收的勾當(dāng)。”

The list names 41 men who dined with senior Tory ministers in the summer after they or their firms coughed up the £50,000 required. No women were on the list.

名單上的41位巨頭是在上交規(guī)定的五萬(wàn)英鎊后與保守黨政要們共進(jìn)晚餐。名單上沒(méi)有女士。

Among the diners was Mr Stunt, 32, who made billions of pounds from gaming, shipping and mining.

名單中，32歲的斯湯特通過(guò)博彩業(yè)、海運(yùn)和礦業(yè)積累巨資。

Russian oligarch Mr Temerko appears on the list twice, suggesting he may have attended more than one dinner over the summer.

俄羅斯能源業(yè)巨頭特墨科在名單上出現(xiàn)了兩次，這表明他在今夏參加宴請(qǐng)的次數(shù)不止一次。

He has personally donated £265,230 to the Tories since 2010, while his wind farm firm Offshore Group Newcastle has given £220,425.

自2010年以來(lái)，他以私人名義捐款26萬(wàn)5230英鎊，他的風(fēng)電場(chǎng)公司Offshore Group Newcastle捐款22萬(wàn)零425英鎊。

Other big names on the list are Lord Ashcroft, the billionaire Tory peer who has bankrolled previous election campaigns, and Sir John Hall, the ex-chairman of Newcastle United Football Club.

名單上還有億萬(wàn)富翁保守黨貴族阿什克羅夫特勛爵(Lord Ashcroft)，他資助了保守黨的競(jìng)選運(yùn)動(dòng);以及紐卡斯?fàn)柭?lián)足球俱樂(lè)部前任主席約翰·霍爾爵士( Sir John Hall)。

The Tories, by far the wealthiest party, trouser most of their cash from super-rich donors. Labour receives a large portion of its money from trade unions, with some from private donations.

保守黨是目前為止最富有的政黨，其財(cái)源大多數(shù)是私人巨頭。而工黨的資金大多由工會(huì)捐助，少部分來(lái)自于私人捐款。
