And while on the subject of party funding...

The Electoral Commission reports donations and borrowings during the final week of the campaign: no surprise that the Tories, with £1.4m, easily outspent their rivals; but the Liberal Democrats got through £500,000 and Labour only £475,000. All in just one week. Across the whole four weeks of campaigning it was Tories: £5.7m, Labour £4.2m and Lib Dems £704,000, so clearly most of the Lib Dem spend came at the end.
