Politicians get into power by campaigning. The better funded a campaign the more likely a candidate is to get into office. Taking Australia as an example, public funding for campaigning has been debated^[1]. The Australian Parliament House (APH) publishes some open data about political donations^[2] however its raw form it is difficult to digest so we illustrated it to make it more palatable...

Graph 1: Donations made to each politician.

Out of 151 MPs 40 have disclosed donations to their campaign. This graph break down the donations given to individual MPs by their source. Additionally, you can type in a name of an Australian political candidate and it will show who their main financial contributors are.

For the green credentials of individual MPs, have a look at Vote Earth Now.

Graph 2: Third Party Return Expenditure.
