This might simply be a bit of a truism (perhaps not the correct term) that the sort of people who are likely to be considered are a)Tory and b)successful, and those are exactly the sort of people who would give substantially to the party in any case?
I'm sure it's naive to suggest financial gifts aren't a factor, but perhaps not as obviously as this makes it seem.

Not all unions are affiliated to, so pay, political parties. The BMA, Royal College of Nursing and NUJ aren't for starters.
While this Tory government tries to make out the RMT are affiliated to Labour they aren't affiliated to any parties either.

And it wasn't you I was taking the piss out of, by the by.
On the other point, and according to both my education and Collins dictionary, "You use cod to describe something which is not genuine and which is intended to deceive or amuse people by looking or sounding like the real thing.
[e.g]...a cod documentary on what animals think of living in a zoo". .
