Petition: Political parties to be funded only by membership fees and a government grant
Change the law so that all political party funding is exclusively by capped membership fees and an equal government grant to all registered parties.
petition.parliament.uk
Do we want the UK to be like the US political circus where the only thing that matters is who has the most money? Please help stop this happening here by signing and sharing.

Two levers that matter, government creates money to satisfy public needs and controls taxation to keep inflation under control as well as redistributing wealth. MMT
In order to debate what levers to pull or push in the UK economy to bring about desired political change, we all must first agree on how it works. This 'Aunt Sally' is an initial attempt at that by a non-expert in economics. Does it stack up, and if not, what would you change?

Taxes to do not pay for public services. Govt money creation, mainly via the issuing of bonds, does. But, putting aside that lie, I would pay more tax for better public services. The problem is so much has been privatised that our taxes are creamed off by profiteering private firms. That I object to

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

The media needs to stop calling it a peace plan. It's a Republican surrender plan for Europe. Why? Because Republicans have embraced fascist plutocracy and Europe isn't.
