I joined the Conservatives in order to vote against Boris

Which obviously didn't work out, but I've retained my membership because I suspect there'll be another leadership election quite soon

Compare and contrast the latest communication from the Tunbridge Wells Conservatives, which shows that British politics is light years ahead in terms of slick money raising by tugging at the voters' heart-string:

"Our annual Christmas Draw replenishes our funds and provides us with a good start to the new year, particularly important now as all our fundraising events are still cancelled due to social distancing and the need to protect our members from risk.

This year we once again have amazing prizes:
Luxury John Lewis Christmas Hamper worth £500
Hamper of 8 varieties of Smoked Salmon from H Foreman & Son
£100 Meat Voucher from Donald Russell Butchers
Box of Award Winning British Cheeses from Neal’s Yard Dairy
...plus Hotel Chocolat, Champagne, Cognac & Port and much more
Tickets are £2.00 each and I very much hope you participate. Not only might you win a super prize, but you will also be replenishing our funds as we prepare for challenging elections in 2021."
