A lot of corps support all the credible parties in any case, though not all to the same extent.
With a few high profile people comes their financial backing, as I think you've suggested.
And to your earlier question I'd happily chip in - provided the new party actually spoke to my needs. Creating an alternative that doesn't get painted into one ideological corner or another is easier said then done.
Interesting stuff though.
