Foreign-source donations to UK politics

The Electoral Commission records the address country of every donor. 901 declared donations carry a non-UK country totalling £4,691,482 across 80 different jurisdictions. The register filters illegal foreign sources before publication, so every entry below is legally permissible. That does not make the pattern unimportant: it shows whose money reaches Westminster from where.
