Petition Action

Ban the funding of political parties by any individual, company or organisation.

Petition Details

Instead, all parties which command a minimum membership, should receive an identical sum from the state for all promotional activities. All eligible parties should be funded by the taxpayer.

Accepting funding in any form from a third party would become a criminal offence.

Additional Information

This would ensure that strong leaders with vision become the loudest voices, rather than those with financial backing from vested interests.

The Conservatives would cease to be hijacked by the interest of big business and lobby groups and Labour would cease to be highjacked by the Unions.

There would be a genuinely level playing field which would encourage radical, positive change.

Only then can we create a political system that is truly representative - and one that we can all be proud of.
