John,
Elon Musk just poured millions into electing Trump president, now he wants to buy the next UK election – and he won’t stop there.
Musk also endorsed Germany’s extremist right party, the AfD. But if we act fast, we can block Musk from using his massive wealth to influence other countries’ elections.
The UK’s election watchdog says a simple rule change would prevent foreign companies, like Musk’s X, from using their UK profits to make political donations.
Let’s join the huge public outcry and push Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other governments to tighten the rules around political donations and save our democracies.
Tell UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and all governments: Democracy isn’t for sale, fix the rules on political donations.
Reports say that the UK government right now is considering changing the rules. But Starmer won’t act unless he’s got huge public backing for this move, because he knows that there will likely be a massive backlash from the far right in the UK and the US.
And if Starmer takes a stand, other governments will be emboldened to follow suit.
While Musk and his cronies may have deep pockets, we have a massive public movement that believes democracy isn’t for sale.
For decades, big business has tried to use its money and connections to sway the outcome of elections. We need political leaders to fix the rules and protect elections from corporate influence.
Tell UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and all governments: Change the rules on political donations by foreign companies.
