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."

Not mentioning any of that is very biased on your part, JHMM13.

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

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.
