nah... parties are always pitching for donations...
That money is frequently going directly to the candidate, or to a PAC.
again not talking about money.
The money is the exchange for political favor.
Political donations should be 100% illegal
Entirely?
No they're not thinking for themselves, they allowing other corporate interests to simply supply them with their opinions.
btw.. does US reward the party from election turnout....
Yes entirely
I guess I don't follow, Dennafen. Why would that be the case?
What reason does the politician have to follow a corporation's perception of things rather than their own?
The only corporations that I can see that would have influence to that degree without question would be the media corporations.
Less thinking and more money involved
And that's simply due to dependence.
That's what I'm trying to get across, Falko.
It's a financial exchange.
I was never a big fan of Rick Perry, but I hated him all the more when I traced the money to the law.
He made a relatively new vaccine mandatory in Texas to middle school teenagers. Turns out, he'd taken money from the pharmaceutical company behind it.
Okay when the Cato institute comes up with a policy idea, that should be advice for a reprehensive, but instead they have fully written bills that are given to representatives and then they put up for vote with little or no change.
This isn't an attack on the Cato institute just one I thought of off the top of my head.
Which should also be illegal
Most laws that are presented are like this as well.
I can agree with that one @I AM ERROR
relevant, I think.
lol
Nacy Pelosi is a joke.
I tend to agree with Falko, for the most part
As journalism was infiltrated, civil society organisations were too .... legislatives listen to their proposals
I tend to agree with myself, but I'm skeptical even then.
but it's hard to comprehend a legal structure that would make that enforceable in a realistic way.
Unless I'm drunk, then I REALLY agree with myself.
In my mind: fund parties with tax money based on voting results and voter turnout, all policy proposals must be transparent to the average voters in what they do, why they do it and who proposed it
Already a problem with that.
I know
Tax dollars going directly to political parties.
That cements the current political structure.
We've had political parties die and be replaced in the past
nobody runs as a whig anymore.
If you have to get elected to get funding, and you have to get funding to get publicity...
