flag UK enacts rules requiring businesses to prove genuine ties before donating to political parties, aiming to prevent foreign influence.

flag The UK has implemented new rules requiring businesses to prove a "genuine connection" to the country before donating to political parties, aiming to block foreign influence through shell companies. flag The reforms, part of a broader political finance bill, follow concerns over undisclosed foreign funding, including cases involving pro-Russia statements and alleged Chinese government ties. flag The legislation also lowers the voting age to 16, expands voter education, and introduces pilot programs for flexible voting. flag Critics argue the measures are inconsistent, while supporters say they strengthen democracy and transparency.
