And what's wrong with me simply donating to the Greens if I see fit to do so (and frankly, after May's shooting the party in the foot this last election, I'm not sure they deserve my cash)?
Poverty on the part of individuals is a bad thing; I'm not so sure that that's the case for political parties.
And as for the consequences of the first-past-the-post system, if the system gives more money to the winning party, I'm actually kind of inclined to think that it advantages the winning party more than anything else. Wasn't this instituted by the Liberals during the Chretien-Martin era?
