| Message | Mr. Speaker, The citizens are funding the democratic process, not the parties. When all parties have equal visibility, citizens are better able to make an informed choice. Without the current law, some parties will receive significantly more visibility than others, which will cause some parties to be overshadowed. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We think that every party should have the opportunity to strive with independent funds, and thus not be influenced by big coorperations. Our party would like to suggest a better structure of party finance. A party will be financed by the government on these basis; - Political Party must be active within the whole nation. - Party will be financed according to it's size in Parliament ( ××× amount * seats ) , a minimum forfait for political parties without seats. |
