This would give the general public and the wealthy/ businesses more equal opportunities to support political parties and reduce potential for corruption. The average single political donation (worth over £7,500) between 2015-2020 was £20,028.13, therefore this limit should only impact the extremities. Political donations have led to several high profile controversies and perceptions of corruption in recent years, eroding trust in government.
