Closed petition: Cap donations to political parties & politicians at £500 yearly, for each donor

Closed on 31 January 2026

Cap all donations to political parties and politicians at £500 per year, for each individual person or organisation making the donation—including unions and companies.

We believe that our democracy is stagnating, and that what we see as entrenched funding from political donations can give political parties media and political dominance, starving the oxygen from any new or changed parties before they can surpass even an embryonic stage.
