改革英国党为巨额捐赠招聘计划引发党内争议

改革英国党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇上周获得加密货币亿万富翁本·德洛和克里斯托弗·哈伯恩捐赠的7200万英镑1，这笔款项创造了英国自2001年实施捐款披露制度以来的新纪录1。法拉奇计划利用这笔资金招聘400名竞选经理在目标选区开展活动1，然而该方案在党内基层活动人士中引发不满。

党内人士对这一策略提出质疑，认为应该优先增加志愿者而非专业经理人1。改革英国党目前拥有2,300名议员1，正在招聘60多个职位，其中包括47名全职竞选经理1。

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage received a £72 million donation last week from cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harbern, marking the largest political donation to a single party in the United Kingdom since the country implemented donor disclosure requirements in 20011. The substantial funding injection has triggered disagreement within the party's grassroots membership over how the money should be deployed.

Farage has announced plans to use the donation to hire 400 campaign managers to organize activities in targeted constituencies1. However, party activists have expressed concern about this approach, with some arguing that "we need more people knocking on doors rather than managers"1. This tension reflects diverging views on whether the party should prioritize professional staffing or volunteer-driven engagement. Reform UK currently has 2,300 councillors and is actively recruiting over 60 positions, including 47 full-time campaign managers1.
