Logic is not their strong point

There was an interesting post on the thread at LUAF which made assumptions about the accounts submitted to the Electoral Commission by the National Liberal Party. It was from ‘Chris B.’ . It read:-

“Nice work.
…And of the Third Way - what does one say about a “party” of 20
members that bores the Electoral Commission to tears with its windy account of
its local election performances (successes = 0), admits to having only £88.17 in
the kitty (2006), but which allegedly raised £1400 from membership subs (yet £15
x 20 = £300! - go figure)…
That’s interesting. They obviously didn’t get
£1400 from membership subs, so somebody is telling lies to the Electoral
Commission.
Bung that one in your complaints too.”

LUAF always like you to start a post with ‘Nice work’, ‘Well done LUAF’ or ‘Excellent article’ so Chris B. gets top marks for that. His logic lets him down, however.

£15 x 20 is indeed £300.

The membership fee of the NLP, however, (as in the past with Third Way) is a minimum of £15. Those with more money pay more. Several pay between £15 and £25 per month to sustain the cause. That is how we get £1400 from membership fees in a year. The Electoral Commission has a better understanding of our structure than the posters on LUAF. Is anyone shocked?
