- 501 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,242 - 119 added in the past 24hrs)
We think banning private funding for political parties would bring true democracy and rebuild Britain to serve all the people. We think that political parties should be funded only through tax, removing all individual and business donors.

I’m a WASPI woman that was affected by State Pension change like plenty of other Women and also missed out on the new State Pension on the 6th April 2016. I believe it is not right that pensioners who are on the new pension can get over £200 a month more.
