According to this story, the Liberal Democratic Party of Great Britain has received a bequest of 950,000 pounds, which is the equivalent of approximately $1,500,000 U.S. dollars. The donor died in 2013 and the bequest has only recently become known publicly.

If anyone left a bequest to an FEC-recognized political party in the United States, the McCain-Feingold law would require that the party could not receive the money all at once. Instead it would remain in the bank, and only about $32,000 could be placed in the party’s hands in any one calendar year.
