Technology billionaire Elon Musk, who is currently an adviser to US President Donald Trump, has caused concern in the UK when he said he could donate 78 million pounds ($100 million) to reform the UK through a British branch of Social Media.
A prosecutor general to removal of gaps that allow rich foreigners to donate to the British political parties, has been signed by more than 142,000 people, which has led to debates of MPs.
Earlier, the election president called on the government to link the legal gap on foreign exemptions to the British political parties as an urgent issue.
“Elon Musk has proposed to give a large sum of money to the British reform and when it has not been able to make a personal donation, there are ways to go around the law,” Labor Debate Westminster said.
The debate has been heard from several MPs who have raised concerns about foreign intervention in British politics, with fears of a possible donation by Mr. Mask or allegedly linked to foreign actors.
In response to these concerns, including the possibility of Russian, Chinese and Iranian intervention, Ali told MPs that he believes measures should be taken to obstruct foreign donations, including those allowed through British companies.
“While it is clear that foreign exemptions for political parties and other campaigns are illegal, the government acknowledges the constant threats that actors who are trying to interfere in our democratic process,” he said.
“The current laws are no longer in line with the morality and perseverance of those who want to disrupt our laws – this threat must be resolved by strong immunity.
“We are thinking of a series of new measures that will achieve this, such as the checked test by donors and more strict control over donors, including more restrictions on the corridors of companies.
But Ali said he did not look at the limits of donations, not preventing money from foreigners who had a legitimate relationship with Britain, to allow political parties to continue to raise money.
Reform in Britain saw its first group of parliamentarians elected last year, and the president of Faraj confirmed a possible donation by Mr. Mask at the end of December.
Faraj spoke about the possibility of doing so through a British arm from a mask company, previously said how such donations should be “relative” to the company’s size in the UK.
However, the festive mood between the couple had cooled significantly in the new year, without any donation and instead a relationship from technology to replace Faraj as the party’s leader.
Mr. Musk’s election was to seize the party’s seizure of the party Rupert Loy, when he was a British reformist MP, but after a spit in which Faraj accused the existence of a Christian society and is now expelled from the party forever.
But the drama reaffirmed the weakness of British law to those who were concerned about the donation of millions of possible donations from foreign actors and had nothing to do with the UK, and led to the request.
On Sunday, Vijay Rangajan, CEO of the Election Commission, told the BBC’s Westminster Clock that the government needs to work, this year, to limit companies’ donations.
In response to a question about the discussions that Mr. Mask can make a donation to reform the UK, Mr. Rangarijan said: “We believe that companies only be able to give something like a couple of years of profits they have done in the UK.
“We believe that the non-society groups need much more transparent, and we believe that the parties themselves need a little more in terms of looking at the donors who come, a kind of ‘international’ rules.
Asked how urgent the government would work urgently, he added: “Nagely next year or more.
