 <title>Your share of your party debt is...</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Presumably if as the Times tries to keep suggesting with respect to the Michael Brown donation to the Lib Dems party members are somehow liable for their party&#039;s debts, Labour and Tory members are also liable in the last resort for their respective shares of &amp;#163;60 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, even if the Brown donation is treated as something that needs repaying at some point the depth of pockets potentially needed by party members to pay off their debts are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Labour:  &amp;#163;23.4m amongst 200,000 members is &amp;#163;117 each&lt;br /&gt;Conservative: &amp;#163;35m amongst 300,000 members is &amp;#163;117 each&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;Liberal Democrat: &amp;#163;1.1m debt plus, possibly, &amp;#163;2.4m Michael Brown donation, equals &amp;#163;3.5 million amongst 70,000 members is &amp;#163;50 each&lt;/p&gt;
