Voting reforms: Elon Musk-shaped hole in Govt's announcement
17 Jul 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Commenting on the Government's announcement on voting reforms, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
"Votes at 16 is a no-brainer. Liberal Democrats have campaigned for this change for well over twenty years and so of course we welcome this decision.
"However, there appears to be an Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s proposed changes to elections. Ministers must go much further to close the door to foreign oligarchs interfering in British politics - anything less undermines our democracy."
