It is not clear whether he is likely to be offered a return to the cabinet, but when Hain resigned Gordon Brown told him that he expected him "to make a contribution to public life in the future"./ppHain was brought down by legislation introduced by the Labour party forcing parties and individuals to declare the source of political donations. He received donations in 2007 when he ran unsuccessfully for Labour's deputy leadership, coming fifth out of six./ppUnder the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, donations have to be declared within 60 days. Hain declared donations worth £77,000 on time. But it subsequently emerged that further donations worth more than £100,000 had not been declared within the time limit./ppIn the past the Electoral Commission, which is in charge of enforcing the rules relating to political donations, has accepted late registrations from parties and individuals without taking any further action. But it decided to refer the Hain case to the police because the sums involved were much larger than in any previous cases. Hain resigned as soon as he heard that the police were being asked to investigate./ppIn a statement, Stephen O'Doherty, of the CPS special crime division, said prosecutors could not prove Hain handled the unreported donations./ppHe said: "Although Mr Hain did not report all regulated donations to the Electoral Commission within the 30 days stipulated by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA), in order to prove a criminal breach of the act, the crown must first prove that Mr Hain held the position of either a 'regulated donee' or, if operating via a 'members association' he was the 'person responsible for dealing with donations to the association'./pp"The evidence in this case shows that Mr Hain's campaign was run through an organisation named 'Hain4Labour' which was made up of members of the Labour party./pp"That organisation had its own bank account and the funds for Mr Hain's campaign were solicited for that account and cheques donated were made out to that account./pp"Those were all characteristics of a 'members association' as defined in the Act. Mr Hain was not a signatory to that account and did not direct where funds should be spent."/ppO'Doherty said it was impossible to identify anyone who was responsible for dealing with donations to the associations. As a result, he said he was advising the police to take no further action./ppThe Electoral Commission said today it would be reviewing the decision. It said there needed to be "certainty" as to who was responsible for reporting donations and that it would be considering whether it needed to recommend any changes to the law./ppHain has also said that he believes the law needs to be changed because of the inconsistencies in the way the regulations are enforced and to prevent the police being involved where there is no evidence of any intention to break the law./ppIn a statement today, Hain said: "I chose to leave government to clear my name and I am pleased I have now done so./pp"I said all along that reporting some of the donations to my 2007 Labour party deputy leader campaign late was an honest mistake. Now everyone knows that it was./pp"After 10 months in limbo while the inquiry took its course, I now look forward to tackling again the issues of social justice, human rights and equality as I have done for all 40 years of my political life, both outside and inside government, from anti-apartheid protester to cabinet minister."/ppFollowing his resignation, Hain kept a low profile politically for some months. But for most of his life Hain has been a hyperactive campaigner and recently he has started to speak out again on issues such as welfare and Zimbabwe./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/peterhain"Peter Hain/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/partyfunding"Party funding/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/labourdeputy"Labour party deputy leadership/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/gkLFosCpMDg9q3hfUQ1msNWx8J8/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/gkLFosCpMDg9q3hfUQ1msNWx8J8/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

Hey there. I'm brand new to how Macs work and can basically just navigate to a few programs and that's all. I have ben using PC forever and am tired with the relentless ignorance of the customer service of some PC companies (*cough* Dell *cough*). I had a problem with my iPhone so I went to the local Genius Bar and took about 1.5 mins to effortlessly recieve a new iPhone no questions asked. There is only one(1) thing causing hesitation about purchasing a Mac. I have read about how to run Windows on Mac through Parallels or BootCamp and am just wondering if games through windows will ever be as smooth as running it on a PC. I am having a hard time believing that it will run flawlessly on a Mac even through BootCamp and I do not want to lose my games that I play. This is my only issue, if this was no issue I would have a Mac already. So please let me know how well Windows can be run through a Mac. Note: This most likely will be just run for games and few PC only programs not constantly as for searching the web or the like. Thank you.
