Short-sightedness is common to many politicans.
The nature of having elections every few years, mean they very rarely look at the long term effects of their policy decisions.
Especially when they can get their hands on a 'donation', in the here and now.

There's no doubt Tesco do bribes; forgetting the brown envelope stuff, I think I put a posting a few months ago on the Stanley section about Tesco's football summer schools in Lancashire in 2010; 4 of 'em in total, all located in areas where Tesco had previously got planning permission for store developments. One of 'em, of course, was the Sports Centre in Church.
