We can get to the same result by barring corporate donations and putting a low cap on personal donations. Quite frankly, I think that doing so would shift the balance of power in the parties to the ridings; it'd give the candidates an incenstive to get a little closer to their constituents. And as I've said elsewhere, it'd cut down on the TV ads and election placards.
And I think that allowing citizens to impact party funding by supporting the ones they favour is preferable. The thought of our tax dollars going to the Bloc cheeses me off.
