Rejected petition Ban foreign donations to political parties

Since 2010 the Conservatives have received £3 million in Russian donations. Foreign investment in political parties is undemocratic. The UK should outlaw foreign donations to political parties.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we are unsure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. In particular, we are not sure what you mean by "foreign donations".

There are already rules about the types of donations that can be accepted by political parties. You can find out more on page 4 of this document:

http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/102263/to-donations-rp.pdf

You could start a new petition setting out clearly the change you would like to see to these rules.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
