  • They may punish them, but the money is already gone in and has been spent.

    See also Cambridge Analytica (the ICO is investigating wrongdoings, but the votes they won won't be retracted)

    Only thing I can think of is offering all parties an open and cheap government audited funding system (rather than a commercial one which some small parties can't afford) and you must use that one.

    No doubt that has side effects as well, but I don't see how they can check (for any party) that people who donate are on the UK electoral roll or companies based in the EU until well after the fact.

  • Completely agree with you. But commensurate punishment (which is not in the scope of the powers of the commission, I'm sure), even after the horse has bolted is at least a start.

    Also thoughts with you @Rich_G, @hats, etc. with all that going on in your neck of the woods (to differing extents)^
