    I see ACT is doing well. They need a ton of money because they have hardly any volunteers and their policies are hard to sell.

    There tends to be a lot of fundraising activity closer to the election. The people-supported parties will bring in more, then.

      This kind of goes along with Gary’s ideas that wealthy people support far right groups to protect their assets. I always give $10 or $20 to the ones I support. It’s mostly so they can say they got donations from X number of people.

      I just finished his book, btw. Thanks for the recommendation.
