Haha, I posted a link to this last week because it made me laugh so hard. It's funny because it's SO incredibly reflective of how the system works over here.

I think whether you're voting for a party or a candidate the principle would be the same. Howard Dean is really the one who kick started the idea over here of small donations over the internet rather than $5,000 per plate dinners from large donors just raking in the cash. Because you might not be able to afford to give a lot, even $25, what with gas climbing and no public transport to speak of. But $10 might be doable. So, you know, start up a "donate $20.08 to the LibDems" movement. Well, $20.08 is a lot more in pounds than dollars, but you get the idea. Pick a number that seems like it'll resonate with people for whatever reason, and the principle should be the same.
