{{News|Jan.26.2018|Here’s How Much Money The Mercer Family Donated To Climate Misinformation Groups In 2016.|[[Robert Mercer]]'s family, among President Trump’s most powerful donors, in 2016 gave nearly $4 million to groups that challenge the scientific consensus on man-made [[climate change]], tax filings reveal. Gave to: [[CO2 Coalition]],  the [[Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change]], Kert Davies, founder and director of the [[Climate Investigations Center]] (CIC). These donations, which have not been previously reported, were on top of about $4m that the Mercer family donated to groups that, although not solely focused on climate, do deny man-made climate change or oppose govt action on curbing carbon emissions, including: the [[Media Research Center]] ($2 million), the [[Heartland Institute]] ($800,000), the [[Heritage Foundation]] ($500,000), the [[Cato Institute]] ($300,000), the [[Manhattan Institute for Policy Research]] ($200,000), and the [[Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine]] ($200,000). Trump's deregulation was cheered by the Heartland Institute. Cato Institute, the CO2 Coalition received $132,000 from the [[Sarah Scaife Foundation]], as well as $50,000 from each of several groups: the [[Searle Freedom Trust]], the [[Thomas W. Smith Foundation]], the [[Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation]], and the [[Achelis and Bodman Foundation]].|BuzzFeed News|Zahra Hirji|https://www.buzzfeed.com/zahrahirji/mercers-gop-climate-change-denial}}

The sums in Britain are tiny in comparison, but you don’t even need to create a system of Pacs: there’s no way of knowing how much money was poured into the Leave campaign before the “regulated period” (the weeks before the campaign when spending is monitored and capped). Banks is setting up a movement not a party, at least initially. Parties are subject to some political financing rules.
