In particular, transparency of campaign funding should be strengthened by the disclosure of campaign donations exceeding a certain amount, with disclosure requirements applicable to any entities participating in election or referendum campaigns. To provide for a more equitable playing field, campaign spending by third parties and by referendum campaigners should also be subject to limits.
