Which UK constituencies get bankrolled

UK political donations don’t all land at central party HQ. Each declared donation carries an accounting unit telling you which sub-unit of the party kept the money. Filtering out central HQ, regional liaisons, parliamentary funds and councillor associations leaves the constituency-level pots. The top of the list is dominated by affluent shire seats with safe incumbents and a handful of strategic marginals. The EC’s official register doesn’t pivot this column. This page does.

For context: of the £1,078,394,157 of declared donations ≥ £1,500 with an accounting unit, £972,882,019 (94%) went to central HQ, parliamentary or regional pools, and £61,776,066 (6%) to constituency-level associations like those below.
