As per the records of the Electoral Commission of the total funds raised by CCHQ in the last year 75% of those funds came from 10 donors. I wonder how many of those donors will still be around if or when the Conservative Party loses the next General Election? Could the Party end up as in the early 1990s when it had a deficit on net assets of £19 million? Who would bail out the Party? No good looking to the members as their numbers have dropped from approx 500,000 to 150,000 today and after every General Election you get a further fall in members! The situation will be dire, but then what can you expect when the person in charge of CCHQ i.e. the Party Chairman, is unelected by and unaccountable to the members of the Party.

Question to the Conservative Party Chairman! What was his reply?
Putting a question to Richard Holden MP, Conservative Party Chairman, on 22 February 2024, at the excellent Chesham and Amersham Association dinner The question was: Under the Conservative Party Constitution it states that "The Leader shall determine the political direction of the Party having regard to the views of Party members and the Conservative Policy Forum" Now that there are no longer motions for debate at the Party Conference how does the Leader get the views of the ordinary Party Members? Needless to say I did not get an answer, although the Party Chairman said "What a great question!" and then proceeded to talk only about the Conservative Policy Forum! What about the ordinary Party Members?
