Time to Tackle ‘Dark Money’ in Politics – As Voters Demand Transparency Over Britain’s Opaque Thinks

Voters believe Britain’s think tanks – the policy-writing research houses that often have charitable status – are opaque and need to open up about their funding, according to new polling. A majority (59%) of the British public believe think tanks are not transparent, with only 19% of respondents disagreeing, Deltapoll polling for the Centre and Millbank Think Tanks has found. A majority of people believe think tanks lack transparency in every area of the UK included in the poll. It goes for people of all ages, political leanings, voting intentions and social classes, with clear majorities for reform whichever side of the Brexit debate voters fall. The research comes amid a growing debate about the role of Britain’s policy research organisations. The findings appear in ‘Follow the Money’, a new report by Centre Think Tank delving into the scale of so-called ‘dark money’ – donations of unknown origin – fuelling UK think tanks, details of which Byline Times can exclusively share.
