Parties can no longer rely on large amounts of ‘free labour’ from their dwindling number of (ageing?) members at election time, and so have to employ people for some of those tasks and devise other means of contacting and influencing the electorate, which requires money. This may also be relatively expensive, certainly much more so than the ‘traditional’ costs of printing leaflets (often distributed without charge), designing and erecting posters and billboards and hiring rooms for meetings—even if use of the most expensive forms of information dissemination (advertising) via TV is either precluded or strictly limited.
