Campaign spending by the parties for the 2011 Scottish Parliament elections:
SNP: £1,141,662
Labour: £816,889
Conservatives: £273,462
Liberal Democrat: £176,300
The usual caveats about declared figures from the Electoral Commission apply: they only cover items that need to be legally declared and so do not capture the full range of activities. In addition, the campaign spending figures do not include individual candidate returns. However, they do give a good idea of relative spending and resources.
