A new report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) argues that capping private political donations could restore trust in British democracy. The report calls for a £100,000 annual limit on donations, which would be gradually reduced to £10,000, alongside a ban on non-UK taxpayers contributing to political parties. These measures aim to curb the influence of the super-wealthy in politics. The IPPR also proposes compulsory voting with a £10 fine for non-participation and an option to vote 'none of the above' to boost engagement. The report highlights declining public pride in British institutions and growing disillusionment with the political system, particularly among younger voters. It criticizes the current system for enabling ethno-nationalist narratives and advocates for a more inclusive model of democratic citizenship. The proposals come amid scrutiny of Nigel Farage over his handling of undeclared donations and his leadership at Reform UK. The government has also announced stricter rules on foreign political donations, imposing a £100,000 cap on overseas donors. The IPPR's recommendations seek to address the fragmentation of political participation and reframe national identity beyond migration debates.
