As Reform celebrates £72m in donations, tell me this: are you ready to see two rich men buy our democracy? | Owen Jones

Reform UK, a political party led by Nigel Farage, has received £72m in donations. This significant amount of money is raising concerns about the influence of wealthy individuals on the country's politics. The large donations could potentially give Reform UK a significant advantage in the upcoming elections, allowing the party to have a greater say in who runs the country. This could lead to a situation where a small group of wealthy individuals has a disproportionate amount of power over the democratic process.

Why it matters

The influence of wealthy individuals on politics is a concern for democracy. This could lead to a loss of trust in the political system and potentially impact the economy.
