Description[?]:
| This bill believes that parties should be able to solicit donations from members of the public, as well as the state.

| Message | We feel that with the provision included that the state also funds public parties it means that undue influence won't become an issue. It gives an extra chance for our citizens to participate in our democracy. |

| Message | No, but we feel with state funding and private funding it gives our citizens a bigger role to play in our democracy. |
| Date | 23:07:52, April 18, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the Party finance bill 3832 |
| Message | We are strongly opposed to this. Let people vote to get represented. Opening money would essentially give the wealthy a greater vote and a greater say in their Republic than other citizens who do not have the means to make heavy donations. The interests of the donors would be represented more than the interests of the people and the interests of Solentia. -Jill Klein, Chairwoman of the Federal Green Party |
