And the Liberal Democrats spent more!

One of the little bits of information to come out of the analysis of the spending by political parties during the 2010 General Election was the Liberal Democrats spent more than the Conservatives over the short campaign. The Liberal Democrats spent £7,618.29 and the Conservatives spent £7,178.80.

In relation to other spends by the Liberal Democrats:

NE Cambridgeshire: £1,592.98
NW Cambridgeshire: £953.94
South Cambridgeshire: £6,459.64

The resulting spends also threw up a mix of results with:

NE Cambridgeshire: +3.0%
NW Cambridgeshire: -1.8%
South Cambridgeshire: +4.7%
Huntingdonshire: +2.6%

In the end spending masses of money doesn't necessarily bring in the results. It is boots on the ground that wins elections.
