What do people think of political party fund raisers

Christmas came early for the political parties after they collected a record €1.2 million in two fundraising marathons on their respective television stations.

The Labour party raised €611,497 and the Nationalist party raised slightly more, at €620,319 in telethons held between noon and midnight last Sunday.

With bumper collections like these, MaltaToday took to the streets of Valletta this morning to ask people whether they donated to their favourite political party, and why they felt the need to do so.
