Lib Dems beating Labour by three to one on fundraising
How can EdM improve the party’s income?
Thanks to Jim Packard and Elizabeth Rigby in the FT for spotting this – but according to the latest party fundraising data from the Electoral Commission for the six months to March 31st the Lib Dems are out-fundraising Labour by three to one from individual and corporate donors.
They note that the biggest source of money to Labour is the tax-payer (£5.7m) and the unions (£4.6m).
What does this say about the party’s ability to fight an election?
