Remove Money from our Politics, Save our Votes (UK)

The Issue

This is a cause I believe affects us all. Anyone who votes in the UK's votes are at risk and honestly have been for sometime. Sure our votes are counted BUT money coming from companies and billionaires hold our politicians on a lead.

We have seen in America Billionaires getting involved and buying there way into politics and spreading misinformation. As well as accusations of using underhanded tactics to deceive voters. There interest in government is not our interest.

The question is do we really want people able to buy into our politics? As the other option is either only allow through small donations. Or we take it from the treasury and each party is given a set budget.

We also need to make intentional election meddling with spreading disinformation illegal. We really are at a point in the world where we could lose so much because people deciding to punch down.

But we hold all the power, you are the people who make the country and world run. Not politicians, not billionaires serving self interest at your sacrifice. 

Politicians are public servants, WE ARE THE PUBLIC. Lets use our voices to remove money from politics and be one step closer to reform and protecting our democratic institutions.

And for those who say what is happening in other countries can't happen here. All those countries would of said the same.  We need reform now before its to late. I don't think its extreme to say the state of the world is getting worse for us, lower or middle class.

As for labour this is your chance to prove you really do care about the working and middle class. Prove your the change we need!

Politics is for the people, not for companies. Make our voices heard.
