There’s talk of Elon financing Reform UK Nigel Farage’s party with 100 million dollars, I don’t know if the laws in the UK could prevent foreign financing of political parties

Thanks for the update!

I knew I had read about Elon’s contribution — just got the amount wrong x100!

LOL!

There is a loophole allowing UK registered subsidiary companies (i.e. X ltd) donating to political parties legally. Which some foreigners like George Soros have exploited to donate to anti Brexit campaign groups. I find this ethically dubious, but I also think that our side should play by the same rules they do.

Oh, and it’s always been legal for Commonwealth citizens (such as Elon Musk tenichally is with his South African and Canadian citizenship) to vote in Our elections if they are resident in UK. The uniparty has had no issues with this so I don’t see how they can have the gall to object to Musk donating when they have tolerating foreigners voting in our elections for decades.
