    Its a toughie though. Political activity costs money, and is the taxpayer willing to pay higher amounts to the parties to fund it?

      If you don’t know the answer it’s perfectly acceptable to just not respond.

      Obviously the taxpayer isn’t going to pay money to a political party that isn’t the government. That doesn’t happen anywhere from not sure what’s with that suggestion.

      They get funding from donors, who live in the UK, and the donations have to be registered with the governing board. The problem is these crypto billionaires don’t live in the UK and the funds weren’t reported.
