Turncoats in the House of Representatives by Café.art.br

Since campaign donations by businesses are no longer allowed by Brazilian law, getting a new Congressman is great for the Parties because it directly impacts the amount of public money they are entitled to receive from the Partisan Fund and the Electoral Fund. Money that is primarily used for campaign spending.
