๐Ÿš€ UK Government Considers Ban on Cryptocurrency Political Donations

According to BlockBeats, the UK government is contemplating a ban on cryptocurrency donations for political campaigns to prevent foreign interference in the political funding system. This consideration follows the Reform UK party's acceptance of cryptocurrency donations, making it the first political party in the UK to do so. Led by Nigel Farage, Reform UK has recently gained traction in UK polls and announced earlier this year its acceptance of cryptocurrency donations as part of its commitment to the UK's 'crypto revolution.' The party has already received its first batch of crypto asset donations.

Although the upcoming Elections Bill policy document initially did not mention a ban on cryptocurrency donations, three informed sources have revealed that officials are currently discussing whether to completely prohibit the use of cryptocurrencies to fund UK politicians.

Nigel Farage, the recognized leader of Reform UK, has long held some cryptocurrency assets. He has expressed to the crypto industry that he is the 'only hope for the UK crypto industry' and seeks to emulate his long-time ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, in embracing cryptocurrency widely.

๐Ÿš€ Reform UK Leads in Political Donations Amid Growing Influence

According to PANews, the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, has surpassed other British political parties in third-quarter donations, thanks to a record-breaking ยฃ9 million ($12 million) contribution from cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne. From July to September, Reform UK received ยฃ10.3 million in donations, outpacing the ruling Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, which garnered ยฃ2.2 million, and the main opposition Conservative Party, which collected ยฃ4.7 million. These figures exclude public funds allocated to opposition parties.

Despite the typical fluctuations in quarterly political donations, Reform UK's fundraising success highlights its growing prominence in the British political landscape. Although the party holds only five seats in the 650-member House of Commons, it has consistently led national opinion polls since April.

๐Ÿš€ UK Government Withdraws Plan to Delay Local Elections Amid Legal Challenge

The UK government has decided to abandon its plan to postpone local council elections in 30 areas of England, according to a letter shared by Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party. According to Jin10, Local Government Minister Steve Reed made the decision to retract the delay following recent legal advice. This marks a victory for the Reform UK party and Farage, who had previously taken legal action against the government to prevent the postponement. Originally scheduled for May, the elections will proceed as planned. The government will now seek to reach an agreement with the Reform UK party to conclude the case and has agreed to cover the plaintiff's legal costs. Farage expressed his triumph on social media platform X, stating, "We took the Labour government to court and won. UK Prime Minister Starmer colluded with the Conservatives to try to prevent 4.6 million people from voting on May 7. Only the Reform UK party is fighting for democracy."

๐Ÿš€ UK Urged to Temporarily Ban Cryptocurrency Political Donations

The chairman of the UK's National Security Committee, Matt Western, has called for an urgent temporary ban on cryptocurrency political donations to prevent foreign interference in UK elections. According to BlockBeats, Western emphasized the need to halt such donations until the risks associated with them, including thorough checks on the sources of funds, are addressed. The committee also advocates for a review of penalties for electoral offenses, suggesting that stronger deterrents are necessary.

Western has written to Cabinet Minister Steve Reed, who is responsible for election finance, urging immediate action. This follows the omission of cryptocurrency donation restrictions in the new election bill.

Earlier this year, the Reform UK party became the first to announce its acceptance of digital currency donations, reportedly receiving the first registrable cryptocurrency donations and establishing a dedicated crypto portal. In his letter, Western expressed concerns that the deteriorating global security environment could increase the risk of foreign interference in UK political finance ahead of the next election.
