If they knew that there was something in it for them to commit this act, that would have been communicated from above or from somewhere. Why else would they spend their own money to do this? I don't know if this goes up the PMs office, but there is probably 2 or 3 levels above whoever did this that were making promises.

You do realize that every campaign has a huge amount of volunteers who donate their time to help someone else get elected. And for every volunteer I am sure there are 100 people who donate their own money to a campaign to help their party get elected. People do this because they believe in the person they are supporting not for their own financial gain.
