"Who pays the piper calls the tune", goes the old saying.
With "cash for honours" in the UK etc. and Bush and co. in the pockets of the oil industry and other special interest groups, there must be a better way for political parties to be funded.
In Germany the parties get x Euros for every vote cast for them. This seems fairer but how then did the Greens ever get started?
There's got to be a better way than just a few people feeding the jukebox, calling the tune.

Totally disagree with the 1st answer.
The whole funding issue is a mess and some system like Germany's would be better.

Upholding the separation of state and economy. Let the free market be free without being crippled by the government.
Political parties should only be funded by those individuals who see it in their best interest to donate their time, and therefore time, talents and effort to that party.
