Big money is trashing trust in British politics. 'Democracy vouchers' could be the solution | Daniel Chandler

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The main challenge would be cost: a scheme as generous as Seattle's seems unlikely, but a voucher worth £25 for each voter over a five-year election cycle would be large enough to get people interested, at a cost similar to existing public spending in Spain.
52% : Replacing current private donations would cost about £50m a year, bringing total public spending to just over £1 for every registered voter - still significantly less than the approximately €3.50 spent on each voter in France, or the €5.50 spent in Spain.
