I've always opposed foreign aid on the grounds that the method through which it is administered is shamelessly political.
This isn't false. A lot of the foreign aid the west pays is actually just subsidies to western companies.
Doesn't really change anything if it's the major charities I'm afraid...
The point would be to have more aid actually reach where it's needed. There are concepts that try to ensure that, but not all work and none will ever be viewed with much favor by a real life bureaucracy.
Ah well. The vote is on the motion to table.
Please vote aye, nay or abstain.
