Rejected petition Drastically reduce the impact of billionaires on our UK politics.

We urge Parliament to cap political donations, increase transparency in campaign funding, close loopholes allowing foreign billionaires to influence UK elections, and explore publicly funded election models. This will protect UK democracy from undue influence and ensure fairness for all citizens.

More details

We want Parliament to introduce legislation that: (1) Cap individual and corporate political donations to prevent excessive financial influence and ensure fairness in the political process. (2) Enforce full transparency by requiring the disclosure of all political donations, including donor identities and amounts. (3) Ban foreign entities and non-UK residents from donating to UK political parties, closing loopholes that allow external interference.
