Party campaign financing needs reform.
British Politics and Policy at LSE.
Campaign financing and election spending was last regulated in 2000. Yet both major parties continue to rely on a handful of large donors granting them privileged access to power, and undermining public trust in political institutions. Jonathan Hopkin and Stuart Wilks-Heeg argue the next government needs to reform the current regulation on party financing, even if it will be against its short-term interest.
