Problem Addressed Wealthy elites donate to political parties to shape policy programmes and political agendas. Whilst these data do have to be declared and published on the Electoral Commission’s website, they are hard to parse in their published form and lack information pertaining to the industry of corporate donors. This information enables quick assessment of whether specific policy initiatives might be influenced by corporate donations, revealing potential conflicts of interest when legislation benefits industries that have made significant political contributions. Built by Campaign Labber Geir, The Conservative Funding Monitor, in addition to showing overall levels of funding, provides this information. Approach & Implementation Users who click the link are taken to a dashboard that stratifies Conservative Party donations by industry (according to a company’s Standard Industrial Code (SIC)). Each industry can then be broken down further to the sub-industry level. And the level of individual company donors. Using this tool, campaigners and journalists can at a glance evaluate the Conservatives’ political agenda in light of potential conflicts of interests bought to light by this donation data.
