I guess having parties funded entirely by small private donations or maybe a way to optionally allocate some share of the taxes you pay yourself and banning all direct funding from government and corporations could be the least bad option.
That’s what is going on here
- parties repeatedly getting 2% over 4 years get gov donations
- parties can take capped membership fees
- private citizen can forward a minuscule part of incomes tax towards a specific party, fully anonymously
- during campaigning, private people can donate to parties, capped to a small percentage of donator official incomes.
Fun thing is, this was put in place after an attempt to install a local equivalent of Orban. Bankrolled by a businessman with close ties to Russia.
