Voter ID, Big Party Bungs, and Payouts to Shamed MPs Would Be Scrapped Under Lib Dem Plans

The Liberal Democrats have backed plans to cap political donations to £10,000, scrap big payoffs for disgraced ministers, and abolish mandatory voter ID rules. The party has become the first to adopt a “pre-manifesto” for the next election, with proposals to give everyone the right to see a GP within a week as their centre-piece policy. The pre-manifesto document, which was voted on and approved by party members at its Autumn Conference in Bournemouth, sets out an early draft of the party’s manifesto for the next General Election. They’ve also set out their proposals for overhauling democracy, after a slew of scandals over the past decade – from lobbying to cronyism and tainted House of Lords appointments. Many of the scandals were triggered by donations to MPs or parties, with donors subsequently landing Government contracts or positions. Last week, the Mirror reported that a Conservative party donor whose company was awarded £160 million worth of PPE contracts has been appointed to a senior Government role on the Board of Trade. David Meller, a former chairman of the scandal-hit Presidents Club, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative Party and its politicians since 2009.
