Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[CXRAndy]

How would we feel if a party had culture replacement agenda?

I think the natives would happily vote for regime change

Culture replacement says a local on a brief break from painting his body with woad.

True, but the criteria would be a good starting point.

'Limiting'? I would say zero external donations.

Funny how old Nige is more than happy for someone who doesn't live here (regardless of whether they are a UK citizen) to donate millions to his party when he constantly bangs on about borders/sovereignty etc. Almost as if he doesn't care when it is in his interests.

I think that if you are eligible to vote then you should be able to donate. I'd actually prefer no donations but one step at a time.
Not eligible to vote? Not eligible to donate. Fairly simple, to my eyes.

That wipes out all union donations then, and those from companies or foundations.

I do think there is a wider discussion to be had about funding of lobbying groups/charities as well as political parties because, again, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

No reason for it to wipe out union donations
They just need to demonstrate the original contributions come from those eligible to vote.

Perhaps restrict donations to a percentage of tax paid in the UK

Neat idea

As above, its legal then it's OK. If you don't like that, write to your MP.

That would be like writing to turkey farmers asking them to get rid of Christmas.

MPs depend on donors.
