That's a possibility ... if it's your own money. I'm pretty sure lotsofpulp's underlying question is, how would that - or any divestment - work when it's the PM's father-in-law which has the shares and is chairman emeritus? Are all relatives within distance X supposed to divest? And if not, you can't become PM? Hopefully they all like you enough!
