I welcome Dr. Byrne. What does she believe motivates people who make donations to political parties? I am not talking about members buying a ticket in a national draw or supporting a church gate collection, but non-members of parties who make donations to individuals or parties. Is it to support an individual candidate in whom they believe, to support the policies of the party or to influence the policies of the party?
