No, anybody can't donate to a political party in the UK:

  Political parties are responsible for checking the source of loans and donations over the value of £500 to ensure they come from permissible sources.

  Foreign companies and individuals who are not on the UK electoral register cannot make political donations.
See https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/rules-fu...

Other countries likely have similar restrictions e.g. New Zealand disallows foreign donations, and the source of larger donations much be known although I'm not sure if public (i.e. no anonymity above $X). Two digit millions is a significant amount in NZ politics.

So you're telling me that < £500 won't be a problem...

Perhaps there's an intergalactic mixing service that can be used here to assist in finally solving this hand dryer situation.

Distributed yak shaving to solve a problem that shouldn't exist.

Instead of trying to move forwards, we need to look backwards: a root-analysis of the font of hand dryers (beware d'evil Dyson).

Who is to blame: democracy is not the right tool.
