Does the 30kGBP limit include money that other people spend on you? If not, that sounds like a way to guarantee that big third parties (who can write checks independently of the campaign to support their candidates) will always be able to outspend grassroots donations organized by the campaign.

3rd parties are actually subject to stricter spending rules: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/default/files/p...

(30K GBP is an average, since consitutencies in the UK have variations in population size. Constituencies do not get regularly recalculated unlike Congress redistricting every decade.)
