Should we have state funding for UK political parties to level the financial playing field somewhat (and have less buying of influence over policy) or whether the status quo is generally okey dokey? 2010 General Election spending: Conservatives...... £16.6m Labour.................. £8.0m Liberal Democrats £4.7m UKIP..................... £0.7m SNP...................... £0.3m The Standards In Public life Committee recommended in 2011 state funding of £3 per vote for the parties, representing £23m a year over five years. This amounts to 50p per elector a year, little more than the cost of a first-class stamp
