#PoliticsNotForSale – Make sure your MP knows that too!
Headline huge donations to political parties from individuals have highlighted the need for tighter controls on donation caps and campaign spending.
Politics should not be influenced by who can afford to give the most money.
Most people believe politics should work for everyone — not just those with money. But right now the rules still allow huge sums of money to shape political campaigns. That creates a simple problem: When money dominates politics, ordinary people lose influence.
Right now Parliament is debating changes to the rules that govern elections and political funding. This is a rare opportunity to fix the system. There are two simple changes that would make politics fairer:
A cap on how much any individual can donate to political parties
Limits on how much political parties can spend each year
Together, these reforms would reduce the role of money in politics and help level the playing field. 92% of people believe there should be limits on political donations. And even ministers have acknowledged that very large donations can distort the political system.
If politics is going to work for everyone, we need rules that prevent big money dominating it.
