Gotta be honest Peter.

Why we need to do a petition for this; is beyond me.

Given the very obvious threat this is.
& has been for a long time.

Govt by this point, should want to clean itself up; after 14 years of tory scams, lies and dodgy dealings.

It should have been a priority from day 1.

My good fellow! Unparalleled levels of political donations from the super-mega-ultra rich brought a formerly disgraced servant back into the supreme office in the land!

Why wouldn't you want felons to be rehabilitated?

How about a petition for government to work for the greater good rather than private interests, foreign or domestic?

I suppose any PM we've ever had would squash that one

Signed and shared. I also don't want companies to be able to fund political parties AT ALL. Why should a company, that doesn't have a vote, get to bribe political parties. However, honorable a party will try to be, a donation is a bribe to influence. Only UK voters should donate. And cap donations!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻

toneg99.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes, should be capped to £50 per year per company🙂

We owe it to Our Communities, to Our most vulnerable members in Our Society, to Our Friends, Our Families, Our work colleagues, and to Ourselves to do all that we can to protect our Democracy from those who wish to dismantle it and to do us harm… For the sake of Our Nation’s Future and for Our Past👇🏻

We all clearly see what allowing dark money and oligarch funding has led to across the Atlantic; let’s not allow it to happen to the UK.

Demand limitations, transparency and accountability on donations.

Demand the same for lobbyist bribery.

Done.. we need to keep big money and corporate donations out of politics as much as possible, or we will end up like America.

Yes, yesterday! Do it fir our younger generation so they don't have to worry about this type of thing happening ever again on either side of the aisle.

Yeah, that'll make a difference. Too many snouts in Israeli and Russian troughs.

Signed and Shared, had enough of the country being run like it has been. We need to make better decisions for the UK, the best parts are being sold off to the highest bidder. We need public services to work once again. Cheap travel for all, a great NHS and water companies that don't pollute rivers.

Remove ALL so-called "donations" (actually #Bribes) to politicians & political parties, and fund them ENTIRELY from the resources of their employers, i.e. the Treasury.
Politicians must work for the electorate.
And ONLY for the electorate.
Or get out of politics.

Signed. Can you start one to prevent the convicted felon Donald Trump from being permitted to visit the uk in any guise? Even as POTUS. I tried myself, but as an amateur I did not get much traction.

@peterstefanovic.bsky.social We want to do what the Aussies have just done...a donor can give a maximum of AUS$20k per YEAR. Its easy, Labour have a huge majority...why wont they do it?
Please run a piece on this and your ideas for UK political funding.
Thanks Peter for all your work on social media

Hi Peter, would you mind sharing my petition to decriminalise abortion? It needs another 20k for a debate. So happy this one has made it! Very important https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700014
