An idea I like is a branch of BoE entirely dedicated to create accounts for politicians and their parties where every single transaction is a public record.
The issue with existing banks refusing services to political parties is that established parties have no issue with it. They already have so much money and power that they could be their own bank. This is not the case for new parties. If you think the current two-party system is bad then you should probably consider this lady’s argument.
