Having the limit is good. It still seems a bit high to me - effectively three times the constituency limit.

Perhaps a more sensible (& easily defined) limit would be to say that the party limit should be the same as the sum of the constituency limits for the constituencies the party is contesting. That would put the party national limit at around £6.5 million.

One can hope. I was rather surprised the party limit happened at all.
