This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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.

Have your say on this petition!
