As per the records of the Electoral Commission of the total funds raised by CCHQ in the last year 75% of those funds came from 10 donors. I wonder how many of those donors will still be around if or when the Conservative Party loses the next General Election? Could the Party end up as in the early 1990s when it had a deficit on net assets of £19 million? Who would bail out the Party? No good looking to the members as their numbers have dropped from approx 500,000 to 150,000 today and after every General Election you get a further fall in members! The situation will be dire, but then what can you expect when the person in charge of CCHQ i.e. the Party Chairman, is unelected by and unaccountable to the members of the Party.
The de-democratisarion if tge conservative party gas led to an out of touch PCP, and exodus of members and no doubt will reduce small donations substantially.
