为什么是"Tax dollars well spent",不大明白。
过去百年有余没有给个政党补贴,不是也都选举了么?
To be honest with you, I don't have a comprehensive answer to your question. What I thought is that these tax dollars help sustain a democratic society, which is a basis of our country. Compared with countless examples of tax dollars wasted, this is an example of tax dollar well spent.
初步的感觉,是不应该取消对政党的经费补贴。
一个社会里面有各个不同的利益集团。如果政府放任不管,那么有钱人的集团一定在各种竞争中居优势地位,穷人在各方面都处弱势。所以,政府介入各个利益集团之间的一个目标,就是保护竞争中居弱势的集团,努力(不可能完全)使弱势集团有能力和富豪集团竞争。政党经费补贴的宗旨,就是让代表各个利益集团的政党都有基本的运作经费,是这种保护弱势集团的一个必要政府干预。
中国共产党经常拿西方的竞选都是有钱人支持、为有钱人说话,来否定竞选的意义。如果加拿大政府真的完全取消了政党经费补贴,正是向有钱人政府的方向靠近了一大步,落实了中国共产党的指责,更是促使社会不公平的扩大。
OK, EC CHARGED 4 PPL,RIGHT?The in-and-out scandal involved PC local candidates and PC election headquarter. Local candidates did what people in PC election headquarter asked them to do. I believe the local candidates are innocent. The Election Canada's charges were laid against people in PC election headquarter.
Although they are all PC people, but PC local candidates vs. PC election headquarter.

遗憾。感觉你这个说法站不住脚。
