    Ha ha, excellent comment Stuart.

    I suspect that all the political parties, including the Liberal Democrats will be suffering in the financial downturn.
    At a time when political parties have to adjust to the failures of economic liberalism and spend more money researching what to do about it, they instead actually have less money.
    Time for state funding of political parties.
