How can EdM improve the party’s income?

Thanks to Jim Packard and Elizabeth Rigby in the FT for spotting this – but according to the latest party fundraising data from the Electoral Commission for the six months to March 31st the Lib Dems are out-fundraising Labour by three to one from individual and corporate donors.

They note that the biggest source of money to Labour is the tax-payer (Â£5.7m) and the unions (Â£4.6m).

What does this say about the party’s ability to fight an election?
