[quote="One Londoner"]My contribution to the debate:
Quote:
Of course if the established political parties get their way on funding it will be even more difficult for new parties or independents to break through. Mrs. Pritchard would now be in prison for her unorthodox funding methods.
By all means put a cap on the total amount parties can spend (most of it is blown on billboards which would contravene Advertising Standards rules if parties were not exempt) but there should be no state (ie. taxpayer) funding of parties and no restrictions on where they get their money from providing it is honestly declared.
