Independent group reveal the source of their funding.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The so called independent group have deliberately not announced themselves as a political party in order to avoid having to reveal the source(s) of their funding. The public has a right to know.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because it's about something the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

The enforcement of rules around political funding is the responsibility of the Electoral Commission, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
