I didn't expect this:

Democratic Audit told the inquiry on the basis of the Electoral Commission's register of donations, from 1 January 2001-30 June 2010, donations of £50,001 or more accounted for 41% of Liberal Democrat income, 54% of Conservative and 76% of Labour party declared donation income.

Who would have thought that Labour, of all parties, relied so heavily upon big donations to keep it solvent?
