Non-domiciles like Lord Ashcroft who use the tax they don't pay to support the Conservative party.
I'm not sure this is equitable, but there is a huge row going on at the moment: Lord Ashcroft's peerage was contingent on him giving up his tax exile status and making significant contribution to the upper House, back in 2000. The crux of the row is that this did not happen.
And the corollary is that Lord Ashcroft will want favours for his backing, especially in his Caribbean empire.
