By allowing uncapped funding, you’re just giving a lot of power to big money. Which is not exactly democratical either.

- pqtyw 1y agoI guess having parties funded entirely by small private donations or maybe a way to optionally allocate some share of the taxes you pay yourself and banning all direct funding from government and corporations could be the least bad option.
- mantas 1y agoThat’s what is going on here - parties repeatedly getting 2% over 4 years get gov donations - parties can take capped membership fees - private citizen can forward a minuscule part of incomes tax towards a specific party, fully anonymously - during campaigning, private people can donate to parties, capped to a small percentage of donator official incomes. Fun thing is, this was put in place after an attempt to install a local equivalent of Orban. Bankrolled by a businessman with close ties to Russia.
