New research from the CAGE Research CentreLink opens in a new window at the University of Warwick reveals the growing influence of wealthy individuals in political affairs, particularly in the affairs of the Conservative party. The report also highlights a growing inequality between the financial resources of the two leading parties, which could have significant effects for democracy over the long term.

The University of Warwick has further cemented its position as one of the UK’s best universities - after being ranked 9th overall by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023. Economics was ranked 1st in the UK, Politics was ranked 2nd and Philosophy 5th, making Warwick an excellent University for the study of PPE.

A study, by researchers from the University of Warwick and the London School of Economics, analysed the anonymised personal tax returns of everyone who claimed ‘non-dom’ status between 1997 and 2018. It found that more than one in five top earning bankers has benefited from non-dom status.
