In El Comm's press release of last week on donations to political parties, they mention casually that "Five parties also received a total of £2,211,200 in public funds." In case you're interested in which ones and how much, from pages 132 and 133 of this (pdf) the lucky recipients were:
Plain Cymru: £34,168.14
SNP: £53,288.77
Labour: £71,412.35
Lib Dems: £634,785.18
Conservatives: £1,417,545.93
Just sayin', is all.

Any suggestions as to how they actually got their mitts on the loot (and kept the ulstermen's off it)?
Just saying what, Mark?
So impressive! Not only can El Comm not organise an election properly, it can't spell either: taxpayers' money given to the parasites is Cranborne (not Cranbourne) money.
You lot can’t see the wood for the trees. This is the reality: Labour gave £18million to Unite for “training” and (surprise, surprise) Unite gate £11million to the Labour Party. With that sort of money per constituency the Monster Raving Loonies would have got several seats as would the BNP, UKIP, Greens, etc, and a much better government we’d have as a result.
B, yes, just repeal whichever Acts of Parliament empowered El Comm to go round dishing out our money.
JH, just sayin'.
U, well spotted sir!
M, yes we can - not only have I mentioned that once or twice already, the net bung to Labour of £10 million (or whatever) was spread over several years, so it averages out at roughly the same as what the Tories get (i.e. £1.5 million per year).
