Everyone loves a good party

Those nice people at Lib Dem Voice published another piece by me yesterday, this one looking at how the way our laws treat political parties is at some distance from the reality of the role parties play in our modern democracy (which is, despite some issues, a far more positive one than many people are willing to give credit for).

I look at whether our current approaches to elected politicians switching parties, MPs' communications allowances and councillors "tithing" part of their allowances are correct.
