THE SNP’s top official has been accused of blatant “hypocrisy” after urging transparency in political finances despite his own party facing claims of excessive secrecy. Chief executive Peter Murrell, who is married to Nicola Sturgeon, backed “real-time reporting of money going in and out of” party bank accounts during campaigns. He told a recent inquiry into party finance the change would be straightforward and “very transparent”. However the SNP has angered many of its own members by refusing to show how money donated for a second referendum has gone in and out of its own accounts. It has failed to formally identify the putative campaign fighting fund in its 2020 accounts, despite a series of high-level resignations over the money.
Firm rules needed to ‘prevent foreign money’ influencing UK polls’
July 8, 2021
LONDON: Election finance rules should be tightened to reduce the potential of foreign actors using digital campaigning to exert influence in the UK, according to a sleaze watchdog.
The independent Committee on Standards in Public Life (CSPL) has published 47 recommendations following a year-long review into the regulation and enforcement of donations and campaign expenditure in elections.
It comes after concerns over whether the current regulation framework is transparent and proportionate enough for the digital landscape, which has revolutionised the way parties and campaigners engage with voters.
CSPL said the recommendations in the report aim to modernise the current system and “increase the effectiveness of electoral regulation” – more than 20 years since the Electoral Commission was established in 1998.
