It seems Gordon's favourite lady has found a new suitor. The Independent has an analysis of the financial position of each of the major parties garnered from their 2005 accounts:

Conservatives
2005 Operating Loss: £15m
31/12/05 Net Liabilities: £26m

Labour
2005 Operating Loss: £14.5m
31/12/05 Net Liabilities: £27.3m

Liberal Democrats
2005 Operating Loss: £0.2m
31/12/05 Net Assets: £0.3m

So, would you trust any organisation to run the country that spends far more than it can afford, and whose loans are unsecured?

Interesting - at least we are efficient.

Without the Brown money we would have come in at less that a pound per vote.

These figures will ignore the Ashcroft money spent before the election was called, won´t they?
