Hello LBO-ers,

McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill would prohibit union
donations to political parties.  I believe the Labor Party receives a good
chunk of its funds from union rather than individuals.  Wouldn't
McCain-Feingold thus damage the prospects for the Labor Party?

Someone, please fill in the gaps in my understanding of soft money,
McCain-Feingold, etc.

Thanks,

Ben
