Background
We need to protect our fragile political system from foreign external influence. An individual or organisation who doesn't live, or no longer lives in the UK, should not have the means to exert influence on British politics and, by extension, our way of life more than the poorest UK citizen. Any political donations should be subject to thorough KYC background checks to ensure the source is not from foreign sources aiming to change the political landscape from outside of the UK.
