ALMOST half of British voters would back cap on large donations to political parties, while more than four in five believe money buys influence in UK politics, new polling has found.

New polling of more than 2000 people by More in Common on behalf of anti-corruption organisation Transparency International revealed that 83% of British voters believe that wealthy doners are able to influence the government for their own personal gain.
