Good! Political parties should certainly not get any more money from the taxpayer. Short and Cranbourne Money has a reason - no other state financing does or can. If a political party cannot survive on what it gets given, it does not deserve the survive at all. They should live within their means, and within what they can persuade their members to donate. Not live life large on taxpayer’s subsidy.
