Would tighten political funding rules by lowering donation limits and disclosure thresholds, requiring companies, trade unions and other organisations to register and disclose donations over €100, and preventing donors from splitting payments to avoid the rules. It would also require annual audits and fuller publication of political-party income, with faster reporting around elections.
