You can't buy me (because you would buy someone else)

The recent rise in the discussion about funding of election campaigns, together with the unfortunate events around my main competitors campaign reimbursement declaration brought this topic in fromt of the parliament.

So the question is: do we allow companies to fund the election campaigns of prospective presidents?

Look at the countries that have it. During election season, you just can't talk a sensible word with them. Yet, voter turnout is only marginally higher than in Tivertonias, and after these other countries election hangover clears up, they all talk like they have to justify their decision, spouting that everything else would be much worse.

I am not aiming for less bad, I am aiming for better. I want to be a leader you are proud of. I want to be so good for you that you can just laugh at those other countries antics, and be done with it.

So no, there will be no vote or voter buying, and the maximum expenditure for ralleys remains fixed. Additionally, we proposed and will enact a law that all work and services provided for an election campaign event must be provided by a government-approved agency with a fixed set of rates. Agencies will be assigned to bidders at random.

As you know, the low voter turnout was easily fixed with the compulsory voting act. Fixing and capping rates also requires more ingenuitey by the contenders, you have limited resources, now make the most of it!
