    Opportunity getting more donations than Green is pretty surprising.

    Although, I think a lot of people are pretty disappointed by the bad press their candidates have been getting.

      2/3 of Opportunity donations came from two people. Plus, this is only the large donations. Left wing parties tend to get a decent proportion of their donations from many small donors. Right wing parties tend to get the large single donations.

        From their announcement; during their “match may” campaign which matched your donation with an equal donation from a big donor; they got around $220k from ~1500 donors, when matched was $440k.

        They are not doing too bad on the money side, and it shows, they have more advertising and presence around the place.
