democracy democracy: Mueller's report is a warning and Britain won't listen Carole Cadwalladr Read more Nigel Farage says this election is about democracy, according to The Guardian. Democracy is fatally undermined if unexplained, unreported and thus undeclared and perhaps under the counter and underhand campaign finance from whom and from where we do not know is being used to influence the very elections that are at the heart of our democratic system, he will say, according to pre-released extracts. Before Thursday's crucial European elections, Gordon Brown has written to the Electoral Commission calling on it to urgently examine whether the party has sufficient safeguards on its website to prevent the contribution of dirty money . The former Labour prime minister will use a speech in Glasgow on Monday to say an investigation into the Brexit party's finances is urgent and essential. Now Mr Farage heads a new Brexit party, which is making questionable claims about the true source of its funding at a time when the Electoral Commission has warned of the dangers of multiple, small, anonymous donations being a cover for dirty money. Richard Tice, the Brexit party's chair and co-founder, said on Monday he did not know whether the Pay Pal account allowed the party to receive smaller donations in foreign currencies. While other parties require personal information from donors, the Brexit party allows donations of less than 500 via a Pay Pal account, which critics said leaves the way open to abuse by foreign donors wishing to influence British elections.
