Foreign-source donations to UK politics

The Electoral Commission records the address country of every donor. 575 declared donations carry a non-UK country totalling £2,900,162 across 73 different jurisdictions. The register filters illegal foreign sources before publication, so every entry below is legally permissible. That does not make the pattern unimportant: it shows whose money reaches Westminster from where.
