Dear Susan,
Dodgy donations seem to be constantly in the news at the moment, so what ca=
n we expect from the new rules coming in? Dr Jess Garland sums up the chang=
es (https://action.electoral-reform.org.uk/s/9742287/G7S46a3oX) for us this=
week.
We have two international stories as well, with Alice reporting back from D=
enmark (https://action.electoral-reform.org.uk/s/9742288/G7S46a3oX) and Mat=
on the newly proposed Italian electoral system (https://action.electoral-r=
eform.org.uk/s/9742289/G7S46a3oX). If you haven't seen it, we have a whole =
section of global perspectives on electoral reform (https://action.electora=
l-reform.org.uk/s/9742290/G7S46a3oX#around-the-world-section), which is wel=
