Screenshot of a quote by Green Party leader Zack Polanski from the Guardian live blog: This is exactly why we need a cap on political donations. Democracy should never be for sale. Every party should compete on ideas, not on the size of their donor spreadsheet. While Reform pockets eye-watering cheques, Greens are building a movement powered and funded by people through thousands of new members. When we win elections, it will be because of the tens of thousands of people volunteered, not the people who donated tens of thousands. If we want a politics that serves the public, not billionaire backers, then capping donations is essential. Let’s end the influence of big money and put democracy back where it belongs: in the hands of voters.
