We should stop all political donations. Have a capped membership fee and perhaps slightly increase the amount of money political parties receive from the government. It would also be advantageous to stop politicians receiving gifts too and try to halt some of the corruption within politics. Over the last few years we have seen deep corruption in the British political system and we definitely need new rules and legislation in place to curb this as the current system is very flawed.
Remove all donations of all kinds. The only funding a political party needs is the fees gathered from members of their parties that have voting power. They can all also have a small snippet of cash from our taxes, only a snippet though. All we need to hear is their policies, not their marketing campaigns. Obviously this doesn’t work with Reform, as they are a business, not a political party. They should be forced to change structure if they wish to continue.
@@angelafirst38 Quite obviously, yes. The hundreds if not thousands of business lobbyists that have past through the no.10 in the past decade would not be in the future decade.

Because it's all about the framing. See the right wing media give any other politician this much coverage? The tories don't even get this much press and they are the right's media darlings. Last night when two tier farage thought the Christmas market T was Muslim he made sure to put out a post knowing his disinfluencer cult would dutifully follow suit. Not a peep since this morning when it transpires he was a far right anti Muslim T.
The Unions do it for Labour...Big business does it for Tory party. Why the problem with Elon Musk? There is no integrity in Brit Politics so invite some outsiders in. See if someone outside the two main party swindle can solve this endless misery...
@clearspira how is Farage even leader of the party? Tice was their leader then Farage just took his job during a general election campaign without any vote or leadership challenge or anything. It's things like that which stop people thinking of them as a legitimate party. Tice tucked his tail and bowed to his master Farage. Don't think Farage won't do the same when Musk wants something
They are doing. The announcements this week about the funding for the hospices and for the homeless was great news. Not that you'd know. Can't have people thinking they're proactive.
The Labour Party’s largest-ever donation came from a Cayman Islands-registered hedge fund with shares worth hundreds of millions of pounds in fossil fuels, private health firms, arms manufacturers and asset managers. While the £4m donation by Quadrature Capital is the sixth-largest in British political history, it is noteworthy not just for its size, but also its timing. Electoral Commission records suggest Labour received the donation in the one-week window between former prime minister Rishi Sunak announcing the general election and the start of the ‘pre-poll reporting period’ in which all political donations over £11,180 had to be published weekly, rather than the quarterly norm. This means that despite being made on 28 May, Quadrature’s generous donation was published by the Electoral Commission only last week, more than two months after Labour won the election.
No individual or corporations should be allowed to donate to political parties, if it’s allowed it means means mockery of democracy. Parties should be financed by the tax payers according to their voters base quantity . New parties until they get a seat in the parliament should be allowed to get donations/ membership fees from individuals but all finances should be under strict regulations and control.
I agree. But technically and legally it isn't a political party. Its a business with two shareholders. Tice and two tier farage is the main shareholder. Why the media are trying to frame him as the new kid on the block when he's been around the political circuit longer than Boris is anyone's guess.
