The amendment that I am most pleased to have got on to the amendment paper is the one about donors. The donors are people who have a place in our legislature—people who can design, comment and reflect on the laws of this country—whose only seeming and apparent ability is to give large sums of money to one of the three main UK establishment parties. We have heard a lot about trust from Members of those parties and about what the public feel about politicians in the political institutions, but how about solving this one? How about taking money out of the legislature? How about saying that if people give money to one of the three big political parties, they are therefore naturally debarred from taking a place in the legislature?
