'Free' at the point of service.
I'm sure when her thermometer rises above zero, she'd be very willing to share the wealth, and make a large, or even XL, donation.

Well in that case, I'm off to get ready for a Railway celebration, knowing that Roy is the sort of guy that will want to share his newly acquired potential wealth even before he has got it, (that lad has the makings of a really good Tory).
Oh No He Hasn't, sharing isn't a word in their vocabulary!

Oooh look, rindy seems to agree with me.

There is much fuss being made of the thermometer. It only shows money donated specifically through that website. The vast majority of candidates donations come from offline.

Wonder how many donations have come offline from her new constituents?

Re: Conservative candidate named.
Karen's helpers tried to put a big banner up on Daltons Printers. Needless to say Daltons will not be supporting the Conservative Candidate as the answer was no.

She's got helpers? As an outsider to this contest (before Jaysay reminds me ), I would've thought she'd be better getting out and about, making her views known to the public. Has anybody had sight of her yet?

Can't make me mind up whether that is cheeky, enterprising or just plain dumb!

Do you never get sick of banging your head against a brick wall?
No matter what you see, no matter how it's put, you think you can dash forward with a positive result.
Well, no, there is nothing positive about telling us she has a secret supply of cash, that we mere voters don't know about.
If she is strapped for cash, tell us, if she has secret backers that don't want to appear on her thermometer well no, you can't tell us, but we do want to know how and who's money she can so confidently waste on fliers in newspapers.
WE are the one's that will decide, not the moneymen, let's see this vision that will cure our woes either on site or in person around town.
andrew I think you are the worst advert for the Conservative Party, stop ruining her chances & shut up.

Never, but, if we are going to sort a few thing's out, when did you ever let sense get in the way of you distorting your parties line?

From experience I know the majority of funding comes from offline donations, rather than someone logging in with a credit card. It's hardly following the party line to inform you of that. I'd hazard a guess that it's the same for the Labour Party.
Chill.
