Funding Of Political Parties (EDM841)

Funding Of Political Parties

EDM number 841 in 2001-02, proposed by Paul Flynn on 12/02/2002.

That this House notes that the principle of funding political parties from public funds has been accepted in the allocation of Short money; and believes that reliance on funding from individuals and companies intent on influencing political decisions could be largely eliminated by funding main parties activities in the same manner with moneys allocated by an independent trust on the basis of votes cast in past elections.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
