High-profile controversies surrounding the funding of political
parties have shown how inequalities in wealth can enter the
political process. The growth of the professional lobbying of MPs
and the executive raises similar questions about money in politics.
More broadly, inequalities emerge in terms of the opportunities the
public have to participate in political debate. This analysis of
the ways wealth can be used to influence politics in Britain
explores the threat posed to the principle of political equality.
As well as examining lobbying and party funding, the discussion
also focuses on the ownership and control of the media, the chance
to be heard on the internet and the impact of the privatisation of
public spaces on rights to assemble and protest. Looking at this
range of political activities, the author proposes various
strategies designed to protect the integrity of British democracy
and stop inequalities in wealth becoming inequalities in politics.
