Party funding has given rise to great controversy since 1997, and
continues to do so. In recent years, row has followed row - from
million-pound donations, to the so-called 'loans for peerages'
affair. The question was the subject of an official investigation
by Sir Hayden Phillips, whose blueprint for reform was produced in
March 2007. This book charts the evolution of the party funding
problem in recent years and explores the weaknesses of the
Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, which was
enacted in a vain attempt to clean up British politics. The book
sets out a number of core principles which should inform the
development of public policy in this field, and examines the
different strategies for the implementation of these principles.
Having regard to the experience of othercountries, including
Canada, Germany and Sweden, a radical framework ofreform is
proposed, designed to address the emerging crisis of party
government with serious implications for democracy itself. The main
concern is with the development of bold reform initiatives to
encourage political parties to recruit and retain members, and give
members rights in relation to the government and administration of
these parties. This thoughtful yet hard-hitting account by one of
the leading scholars in the field will be of interest to
constitutional lawyers and political scientists, as well as
journalists and those with an interest in the way we are governed.
