The petition was refused; the judges ruled that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Alistair Carmichael had committed an illegal practice under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Four constituents had brought the petition which alleged that Mr Carmichael, who was Secretary of State for Scotland in the Coalition Government, had misled voters over a memo which was leaked to the Daily Telegraph at the beginning of the election campaign. This Briefing Paper also gives details of the election court which heard the petition concerning the election of Phil Woolas in Oldham East and Saddleworth in 2010.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY B. BRITISH PARTY AND PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE EXPENDITURES, 2010 – 2015 C. HOW IS CONTEMPORARY BRITISH POLITICS FUNDED? INTRODUCTORY NOTE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY What are the problems? Clearly there IS a problem - or series of problems. Continued scandals attest to that. But it is important to clarify what the problems are and are not. The first part of my study – the review of party and candidate expenditure in the 2010-15 cycle does not reveal any major problems. There was not a spending “arms race” between the two main parties. Nor was there a spending difference between them sufficient to justify charges of major unfairness in the system. The main source of concern lies in the manner in which the parties derive their income. The principal source of the problem is low (and, in the case of the Conservatives, rapidly declining) party membership. Major challenges are: • Reliance on mega-donors. This, in turn, raises questions of alleged rewards for these donors in the form of peerages and other public honours, privileged access, and of influence on policy.
