Foreign-source donations to UK politics The Electoral Commission records the address country of every donor. 781 declared donations carry a non-UK country totalling £4,007,140 across 79 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.
