Should someone like Elon Musk be allowed to donate millions of pounds to UK political parties?

We’ve all seen his comments at the weekend.

So far, the govt seems intensely relaxed about mega rich donors like Musk buying outsized influence in our politics.

We say: cap donations, level the field.

Reform likely to raise Kent council tax after cost-cutting drive falters Nigel Farage’s party promised to revive local authority finances by slashing wasteful spending

β€œEveryone thought we’d come in and there were going to be these huge costs we could cut away but there just aren’t.”
Reform's own reps discovering in real time that their claims are fantasy. After years of austerity squeezing council budgets, we need a new approach.

Please, please let this be a lesson in reality for any Brit that thinks Farage is the answer to your already unaffordable life in the UK because this is the system he will replace the NHS with.

And that’s terrifying.

Nigel Farage has openly backed fox hunting and even turns up at his local Boxing Day hunt. Reform UK’s manifesto promises to β€œprotect country sports” , a clear nod to bloodsports. So would they legalise fox hunting if they got into power?

In an age of multi-party politics, First Past the Post means more and more MPs elected on tiny fractions of the vote - while millions of voters are left unrepresented.

The case for electoral reform has never been clearer.

Too many people feel that our economy is rigged against them- that no matter how hard they work or what contribution they make, they can't get by.

Our new report examines how this is fuelling the rise of populist politics- and what we can do about it.

This MASSIVE MRP (13k people polled!) lays bare the intrinsic issue with FPTP.

Reform would be on course the form a government with just 27% of the vote. The democratic deficit is huge.

The case for PR has never been clearer.

Danny Kruger's defection to Reform is a dangerous indication of Britain's drift to the Right.

Labour promised a decade of national renewal but are delivering a Reform UK government.
