Bill: State Funding of Political Parties Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Socialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3447
Description[?]:
| Madam Speaker, political parties should be funded by the state on the basis of how many votes they receive at elections. It is grossly unfair that right-wing parties get loads of donations from billionaires and big corporations, whilst parties like the DSP which strive to represent the ordinary Dranish people struggle to keep themselves financially afloat. The playing field should be levelled a bit! Diego Barreto MP (Minister of Finance) |

| Message | Madam Speaker, the DSP is a victim of the capitalist forces of political oppression. The billionaires and the big businesses are very deliberately not giving us any money because they want to bankrupt us. Yet they give money to most of the other parties - this is totally unfair! There is also the issue that political donations from economic elites can be corrupting. Wealthy individuals and companies who donate to the GNP and the PP are going to be wanting something in return. Diego Barreto MP (Minister of Finance) |

| Date | 20:48:48, February 27, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the State Funding of Political Parties Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, the thievish left-wingers' deeply immoral proposal of state funding for political parties is based on the idea that taxpayers should be compelled to bail out the DSP, which is at the brink of a well-deserved collapse thanks to their reckless overspending which they now blame on the capitalists as if they had somehow forced them to go deeper and deeper into debt. We will fervently oppose this proposal to pickpocket the people for the benefit of dilettantish communists who are incapable of dealing with money in general. James Whittaker MP Member for Magadonia GNP Finance Spokesman |
| Date | 23:40:47, February 27, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the State Funding of Political Parties Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, I am proud to boast that Dranland's finances are in better shape under this socialist government than they were under our predecessors. It is ludicrous for James Whitaker to suggest that we want to pickpocket from voters. The truth is that if you want democracy, you've got to pay for it. On the other hand, if you want politics which is dominated by the interests of big political donors, then you continue with the current system which gives all of the power to the big political donors. Diego Barreto MP (Minister of Finance) |
