Imagine if the governing party in Ireland or the UK did this...

I read <a
href="http://www.addisfortune.com/Businesses%20to%20Raise%20Funds%20to%20Finance%20EPRDF%20HQs,%20Training%20Centre.htm"
title="Article in Fortune newspaper">this article</a> in the Addis-based
Fortune newspaper today and did a double-take...basically, it says that
EPRDF, the 'ruling' party in Ethiopia is asking businesses to fund the
building of its party HQ and a 'training centre' for members.
Then I thought, what would the outcry be like if Fianna Fail in Ireland
or Labour in the UK tried the same thing!?
It made me laugh but at the same time it's a bit scary.

Here's the link to the article:
