Representation of the People Bill

Contribution

Without this power, those seeking to circumvent the new rules could simply redirect activity through areas where comparable safeguards do not apply. That would risk creating a loophole in the electoral regime, undermining the effectiveness and protections that the Bill is intended to provide. The amendments have a time-limited mechanism, ensuring that they are introduced, and where possible consistently, across categories of political activity and to recipients of political funding.
