English term or phrase: partisan booty
"... not just as ****partisan booty**** or capital gain for a particular party."

Can anyone suggest a Portuguese translation for this expression, please? This comes in the context of a migrant community and immigration reforms.

Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance :)

traduziria à letra... a expressão é frequente e enquadra-se no contexto:
não apenas como espólio partidário ou ganhos de capital para um determinado partido.

butim partidário OU despojos partidários


Explanation:
Alex,

faltou fornecer o necessário contexto do qual essa frase faz parte, mas ela é tão singular que foi fácil localizar o texto de origem:
"It’s perverse to talk about an immigration reform while fixing attention to the political parties. What we need to understand is the need of a fair immigration reform seen from the human rights and criminal justice perspective, not just as partisan booty or capital gain for a particular party."

José Braga e airmailrpl deram boas soluções. Embore concorde com ambos, eu sugiro uma tradução mais incisiva e ao pé da letra: "butim partidário" ou "despojos partidários".

O próprio texto mais adiante reforça esse caráter de disputa:
"If we use these 11 million people as political prize we’re not doing the right thing as a country or as society..."

That's it. My tuppence worth.
