‘Unelected power’ of ultra-rich is reshaping British politics, report claims
  • A report by the Equality Trust highlights the increasing influence of the ultra-rich in British politics, particularly through House of Lords appointments and significant donations, which are reshaping political decisions. The study points to a rise in structural corruption and the emergence of 'conduits for unelected power' over the past two decades.
  • This development raises concerns about the integrity of British political institutions, as the growing power of wealthy individuals and organizations may undermine democratic processes and accountability within the government.
  • The recent suspension of two peers from the House of Lords for breaching lobbying rules underscores ongoing issues of transparency and ethical conduct in political circles, reflecting a broader pattern of scrutiny regarding the influence of money in politics and the need for reform in governance.
