Having the limits is a lot better than having no limits - it means that trying to work around the limits can be caught. Rather like the Labour Party was caught trying to work around the rules on party funding disclosur. (The ones that they introduced!)
I completely agree that state funding of political parties is unacceptable. I also detest the European election "Party Lists". Bah.
but I think this is straying off-topic. :-)

But what worries me is the debate about state funding. I still don't believe that this can be made watertight.
