What would happen if only voters - not unions or businesses - could donate to political parties? A plan to do exactly that exists, if the government wants to try it.
I’m afraid not. Large companies are owned by rich people. NZ’s largest political donor is a billionaire owner of a pretty big company, and he makes large donations in his own name.
Isn’t that the equivalent of an election without large donors? Just eliminate non personal donations already.
