I attended a Campaign Lab Hack Day and decided to look at the political donations projects. I then downloaded the Electoral Commission stats on donations for what looks like Q4 2023 and done some quick charts, I’ll put my spreadsheet up once I tidy it up. The Tories have collected a shed load of money, rich donors have failed to show up for Labour. Short money remains very important to the opposition parties. This was originally published on the assumption I had all the figures for the year. See over\/below for the two charts now found to be incorrectly titled as the data is for the last quarter 23 only … <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I have two charts comparing the three biggest recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EC defines nine potential classes of source, the next chart shows the proportion each source donates to the top three parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tories are far ahead of all the other parties. This money is coming from individuals. More detail is illustrated at “Who funds the Conservatives?<\/a>” Labour receives a lot of money from membership fees and small donations so their total revenue will be higher than described here but they would seem highly dependent on the “short money”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attended a campaign lab hack day yesterday, and found an alternative web site<\/a> which displays the data for 2013<\/a>; I have inserted my data file into Neil’s code and it can be viewed here<\/a>. Maybe I need to look at the javascript code (& maybe the css). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
