British honor and funding in politics compared to America
British politics use union and business funding, with peerage sales and honors tied to party support. Lloyd George sold titles, others followed, while Harold Wilson expanded the Lords and Heath revived honors for political service. The writer argues British methods echo American ones, just less crude. Excerpt notes Jewish communities’ early North American roots and New Amsterdam’s 1654 founding.
