So In effect the initial political campaign should be capped to the cost of hiring a bus, podium, microphone and speaker.
The people vote not the corporations. (Or at least that's how it used to be)
What is the need for corporate donations other than their company's self interest ?
All year long major corporations have their say through your parliament to make sure that certain rules, regulations and laws are and aren't passed. For the gain of the investors.
So cause and effect would be in place with abolishing this system loose one and the Financial market bubble would burst. I am happy for both bubbles to be burst.
Politician's should also not be allowed to have external business influences during their terms. In my country New Zealand nearly all of the politician's have Market shares or business interests (own a business) to supplement their already large government income. This in turn has amounted to our government not increasing the minimum wage to meet the cost of living in over twenty years. As If they do increase the minimum wage the market shares are bound to drop. Wonder if this has happened else where ?

A No- strings attached policy needs to be enforced.
explain- most make donations with the expectation of something in return. this jeopardizes the integrity of the recipient as now he owes a favor to the donator, creating a spiraling vicious circle of corruption.

In my country the political parties set up the candidates to presidence in public election.
Why I suppose that way ? It's because money can made influence to choose the candidate to election from benefactor like someone, who wants to create a hole in the law for him.
