It's a bit silly as the parties basically raise money by completely different means there is absolutely no way to reform donations without screwing one of them over.
Labour raises small amounts money from lots people not being arsed to say I don't want to donate, the Tories raise money from industry and individual donations from rich individuals. Neither are ideal of course
I'm quite happy to tax payer funded parties but only if that party can get a minimum 25% of seats in parliament (ie the Lib Dem's get nothing)
