- 909 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,215 - 19 added in the past 24hrs)
We think banning private funding for political parties would bring true democracy and rebuild Britain to serve all the people. We think that political parties should be funded only through tax, removing all individual and business donors.
