To put this into context: Labour currently has an estimated 300,000 members, a figure which seems to be declining rapidly. (Its hard to get exact figures since they stopped publicising them...)

Obviously there's a much lower barrier to entry here, but for that many people to be that engaged already is frankly astounding to me

    500,000 people joining a mailing list would probably result in around 25,000 (5%) actually paying for a membership. This is still extremely impressive for a new party, but people really need to stop comparing the number to other party's paying memberships.
