And, finally, if you don't want government money going to the parties, should political donations be tax deductable?
That's actually one of the points that was brought up when the subsidy was still an issue. The tax deductions (apparently) represent a whole lot more money than the subsidy, so if they were serious they should have gone for the deductions instead.
