| Message | Candidates should not receive any public funds. A credible candidate has the ability to fundraise from their support base. This is a step in the right direction, but does not go far enough |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The comments by the Shadow Alliance MP are ignorant of the class differences that exist in a society. A party that gets donations from 100 wealthy persons can get much more money than a party that gets donations from 500 poor persons. It will be possible for private sector businesses to give donations to parties that serve their special interests, and these businesses have much more financial power than grassroots citizens. To us, it makes more sense for all parties to get equal funding so that they are all equally-visible to the public. It is in the interest of the public to be informed about all parties, so that they may make a fair comparison and a fair choice. If we do not do this, pro-business parties are likely to get more visibility, while grassroots parties will become localised to small areas and become so invisible that they will have no chance of influencing national politics. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |
