Representation of the People BillContribution
It is also crucial that we look at foreign influencers, as well as influencers in the UK, who are seeking to destroy our democracy. We do not have to spell out the names—we all know who those people are—but they are pouring in billions of pounds. They are worth billions, and they think they can dictate how we conduct our democracy and how our democracy functions, and they are succeeding. That is why we cannot do this incrementally. We have to be bold and radical to counter the threats coming our way, because in the space of a year, since this Bill started its passage through Parliament, we have seen the acceleration of those threats in every direction. I hope the Government will act swiftly by accepting these very important amendments.
