The Independent's journalist Johann Hari identifies four vulnerable groups who will suffer from Conservative policy proposals and describes the effects. Well worth reading here and here.
...oh and a fifth reason is the Midlands Industrial Council (MIC).
This organisation hit the news again this week. It is widely seen as a front organisation for anonymous donors to the ...Conservative Party. It has donated more than £2.8 million to the party.
It was forced last year to reveal the names of its members as such an arrangement is against the spirit of the rules on donations to political parties and undertakings were given to declare any new names as they joined.
It now appears that three months ago they had a new member but have only just named him. This was despite Cameron saying, on Sunday, that the names of every member of the Midlands Industrial Council had been made public.
The Birmingham Post uncovered the latest member, businessman David Grove, and also found that MIC had donated £195,000 to the party since he had joined. However, his membership was not revealed publicly until inquiries were made by The Birmingham Post on Monday.
As well as donating money to Conservative local constituency parties MIC also funds Coleshill Campaigning Services the call centre, based in a 19th century country house in Warwickshire -Coleshill Manor- which bombards voters in key marginals with calls urging them to vote Conservative.
Nick Watson of the BBC's Politics Show West Midlands did an investigative report on who the MIC donors are and what they want.
The Daily Mail is also bothered by Conservative funding arrangements asking "how come no one's attacking the Tories over their funding?"
Meanwhile, local Conservatives still have questions to answer about who knew what and when with regard to the £40,000 given by another anonymous donor, brokered by the local Conservative Party, to RAWS for the Farington Waste Plant judicial review.
There is also the question about the tax and residence status of Lord Michael Ashcroft who donates money to Conservative constituency parties in marginal seats -including South Ribble.
His peerage was given at the behest of William Hague and on the understanding that he moved his tax affairs to the UK otherwise he would be able to sit in the House of Lords and make policy here without paying tax, turning on its head the old rallying cry of democrats 'no taxation without representation'.
