There are two reasons why I have persisted with this issue. The first is that in such situations, an active choice between two options has become the standard approach for people making a decision. This is 2025, not 1945 when the previous arrangements were established. We strongly believe that people should have the freedom to make personal choices free from bias, and this is much easier to offer in the digital age. There are not huge bureaucratic obstacles; my case is that this principle should extent to political funds as well. Secondly, I have repeatedly said that if we fail to find a lasting solution, I fear that this whole area will be subject to frequent changes with different Governments. That is not going to be in anyone’s long-term interests.
