Scottish Greens call for an end to ‘dark money’ in politics
Patrick Harvie

THE Scottish Greens unveiled plans today to drive “dark money and a cast of dodgy donors” out of politics.

Outlining a raft of measures to curb the “corrupting” influence of big money in politics, they have called for parties to be forced to identify sources of donations, foreign entities to be banned from buying UK campaign advertising and increased fines for breaches in campaign finance.

The proposals come after recent Tory government changes to not only to increase campaign spending limits, but to lift the threshold for anonymous donations to political parties.
