The Electoral Commission has published how much the parties spent campaigning in Wales at the 2009 European Parliamentary elections. It comes to a total of around £600,000.

If you're interested, you can find out how much each party spent and what they spent it on here.

In Wales the Conservatives, who topped the poll and won one seat spent £133,788, a little less than they spent back in 2004. Labour, who held onto one of their seats, spent £10,000 more than in 2004 and are top spenders - £169,944. Plaid, who also won a single seat, spent a great deal more than in 2004, £97,232 compared to £37,150, while the other party to get a seat, UKIP, spent well under half what they spent last time round: £37,743 = 1 seat.

Perhaps they could offer a bang-for-your-bucks seminar. The Liberal Democrats might look at the maths and fancy going along: £82,533 = 0 seat.
