	Channel 4 - Election 2005
		The amount parties are allowed to spend during an election campaign depends on the number of constituencies they are contesting and where these constituencies are located.
		In practice, this means a party contesting one seat in England can spend the same amount on its national campaign as a party contesting 27 seats; while parties contesting 28 or more seats will be able to spend progressively more.
		Parties have three months from the end of the campaign period (or six months for those with expenditure over £250,000) to submit details of their spending return.

		Those "senior party members" need to raise their voices a few more decibels and force a change of both direction and tone of the campign,otherwise the damage,both short and long term,to their party may well be immense.
