Funding

Perhaps you wish to help fund Civility Today now.

Or perhaps you would prefer to help fund one of the News Crap publications, such as Trickery Today.

You may be interested in funding political candidates for the LobbyRule Party or the LayBore Party or the Naturals Party of Australia or another political entity.

Do you have plenty of spare cash or any other surplus assets?

Funding is a tricky topic, whether involving publications, political parties or libraries.

There are also many associated policy issues to consider.

If any members of registered political parties in Australia and other countries seek to become public servants, government contractors or recipients of government grants, should they be expected to resign from their associated party at least a year before applying for government-funded roles? 

Regardless of your expertise, or lack of any, if parliamentarians wish to employ party political advisers to assist them in their parliamentary, electoral and/or ministerial roles, should those advisers be funded entirely by the party rather than the public?

Perhaps you think that half the monthly salary received by parliamentarians, at both the state/territory and federal levels, should be in the form of a loan from the public, to be repaid through any other public funds those parliamentarians directly and indirectly receive when they are no longer parliamentarians.

Perhaps you would rather vote for wonderful witches.

Are you seeking a potion of democratic devotion?

Perhaps you are seeking a spell of political power for yourself. 

You may be aware that most politicians do not care about democracy.  They care about having access to plenty of public money with which to play politics.

Rich, rude people tend to fund political campaigns for their own benefit, either with their own money or with money they have stolen from the shareholders and/or members of various organisations.

Besides putting rude mouthpieces into safe parliamentary seats for their own purposes, rich, rude people delight in funding pressure groups to ensure those mouthpieces do their bidding, even when pressured by the public and/or the media to act more democratically.

But you can thwart that rudeness by funding Civility Today.
