something completely new. I am willing to write a new article, but I want some consensus on what to write first. I propose we summarize the history of campaign fundraising (including scandals), give legal limits for various countries (I can do the USA but a Brit write legal limits for the UK), and then we shoould discuss fundraising techniques. THEN, at the end we can give the various viewpoints on the matter. However, the current article is POV and not of Knowledge (XXG) quality. Any comments/questions? -
842:"It is commonly alleged that campaign finance contributions in exchange for promises of votes may lead to de facto corruption in democratic systems, even though such promises may be legal. Political analysts who value civic participation have observed that the main problem of tax money in politics is its use to purchase votes as demonstrated by the growth of government spending in most western democracies and the increases in the role of government in social programs." 811: 345: 243: 327: 222: 423: 405: 888:"In disciplines such as economics and public policy, public choice theory and collective action theory attempt to understand the effects of this kind of abuse of public power on the outcomes of political processes. The problems are compounded by seniority systems in legislatures which give more power to re-elected representatives than to new ones that may not be able to deliver on their promises of more government largess." 433: 253: 191: 816: 549:
Not mentioning any of that is very biased on your part, JHMM13. Im sorry you dont know anything about the campaign finance system besides what the people who benefit from it have told you, sir, but its a very valid criticism of the system, you should leave it in. Or modify in a way you think is fair,

That's an interesting point. But at the moment, the article (and most discussion of seen of the topic) seems to not touch on that aspect. Perhaps because reliable information cannot be known about it, and the best anyone can do is provide conjecture? In reality, though, are the two not intimately

I was not thinking of opposing viewpoints. However, looking at the subject matter from different sides of the Atlantic Ocean may result in different views and terms, especially as far as the role of parties is concerned. In Europe various party organizations (headquarters, branches and chapters) are

My counterpropositon would be to put a lot of effort into crossreferences and redirects, so that each individual user can choose among the information provided from different viewpoints. If anyone can make an effort to merge, please go ahead. I do not want to be part of it because as a European I am

I would appreciate it if you didn't make assumptions about my level of intellect, but my goal in this matter is simply to put forth the information that exists in an unbiased fashion. Clearly from your statement above, you are coming at this from a biased viewpoint, and your writing tends to reflect

I don't know what your sources are for this very general statement. It may be true for the US, Australia, South Africa, India and Pakistan. However, my own research about data for the UK, Canada and various countries in Western Europe (among them Sweden, Germany and Austria) indicates that the bulk

Sorry, it's not "some theoretical distinction" but a different way of life: U.S. politics is centered around "campaigns", politics in most other countries are centered around "parties". Is anybody able to bridge that gap? I have tried very hard more than two years ago and I had to give up, finally.
1228:
Before starting the article on "political finance" I have tried to improve "campaign finance" and give it a more worldwide view (as was proposed by some wiki editor in the banner flying on top of the article). Unfortunately the whole article on "campaign finance" has a heavy U.S. bias (perspective,

Depsite agreeing with the argument the author appears to present (campaign fiancing corrupts democracy) this article is very poorly written and actually hurts the case about campaign financing. I have currently no interest in the subject, although I have read some books on the subject before. I am

Most political spending occurs in the run-up to announced elections, whether it is called an election campaign or not. Even in Denmark where they have minimal political ads, the character of media interviews in the run-up to elections is very different and campaign-like than at other times. But in

The first reference, to a web.mit.edu hosted article, is no longer available at the specified URL. The statement for which it is cited implies an analytic consensus that donors are not attempting to influence candidates, a proposition that seems dubious. If the contention is indeed unsupported, it

If so, it would not make much sense to make a difference between routine and campaign spending. However, platforms don't just exist, they must be prepared (sometimes in endless rounds of discussion and meetings before they finally are adopted by a convention) and all other policy development that

Good luck. May I suggest you ensure the article is actually about political funding. The issues of poltical funding in America is worth mentioning within the article, as a section, it should not be the focus of the article. A section or reference to political dontations in Australia might include

You are right there is no consensus. Before I withdraw the merge notice, let's ask the community once again, this time through an RFC, which should give this issue some wider visibility. If no consensus will appear in a month or so, then I will withdraw this proposal. PS. I am sorry, I read your

This whole article is an opinion piece. I happen to agree with most of it, but thaty does not make is encyclopedic. It was irresponsible of the author(s) to write that editorial in the first place. Therefore, we need to blank the page and make it a stub, or we need to blank the page and write

because it sounds like it's saying that even if the government actually helps people, it's bad because it's bribery. That's a stupid anti-government statement, there's no reference to who the "political analysts" are or exactly what they said and where they said it, and there's no opposing view
720:
Please do not remove the neutrality tag unless you've got a consensus opinion on your side, I think that is fair. I have not made any changes to the article because I don't believe I am the best person to write this article. However, I can recognize POV statements when I see them. For instance:
694:
I removed it because you have made no attempt to change it in the last 2 days and try to balance it as you say you care about. If you think its not neutral, which I think it is, then try to change it. There is no need to put that up there unless you want to make it neutral. Otherwise I could go

After waiting for about 18 months I would want to get a decision on the merger proposal, which I have opposed right from the start. In the meantime nobody responded affirmatively to the idea to merge an article on a wider subject (i.e. political finance) into one on a smaller subject, which is

because it assumes there's abuse of power, otherwise the first sentence it ok. The second sentence isn't even clearly about campaign finance. Is the implication that legislatures allow re-elected representatives more campaign financing? Then say so and give a reference. I changed the paragraph

There are various country-specific pages on the subject. I have tried to enter cross-references to all of them with all other pages that are related to the subject. Thus a general page on "raising and spending political funds" (maybe "campaign and party finance" or "costs of democracy" - with

In this edit I attempted to eliminate much redundant material, add balance, and improve organization. I hope to come back to it and add some more source links later. As many above have noted, this article was poorly written and highly charged with personal POV.
731:
That is a highly weighted charge, my friend. What you have submitted sounds less like an article and more like a paper on the subject. I have read through this and I agree with your opinion at certain times, but this is not a balanced weighing of the issue.

that. I am not saying that your opinion is wrong, since I do agree with it in some sense, but please try to understand the purpose of Knowledge (XXG) and try to realize that there is more than one point of view on the subject.
1815:- The subject is a stand-alone topic, because it is not confined to campaigning, but has more to do with lobbying. Politicians are susceptible to lobbyists' influences regardless of how their election campaigns were funded. 1117:. There are a few specific country articles in there. Maybe this article should merely be a definition of Campaign finance, followed by a link to the articles for each country. That would give it more of a world view.-- 1850:- It could be presented in a more comprehensive and globalized way in the context of campaign finance in general. As a standalone, there is too little context and continuity between the main topic and this subtopic. 153: 1797:- because of its top heavy U.S. bias this article (campaign finance) is no good to international readers anyway. However, this should not be a reason to produce more separate articles on other U.S. ideosyncracies. 937:"...and the campaigns of most prominent American politicians are funded by a variety of sources. Other countries take a more restricted view, and may for instance make all contributions from corporations illegal." 1547:
Ah, I see now what you meant, somehow I missed it the first time around. This is certainly a valid point to be made; you and Iselilja have convinced me that this merge may not be necessary after all. Thanks,

I agree with blanking and stubbing until we can write a new article over keeping this on Knowledge (XXG), but that's just my opinion. I think we should find some others before we take that drastic measure.
