RE: PNP supports public campaign funding

Isn't this amazing? They cannot find money to abolish cost sharing, they cannot find the money to tranform the education system, they cannot find the money to provide essential services, yet they want to fund dem campaign out of the public purse?

These S.O.B.s cannot be real.

RE: PNP supports public campaign funding

How will public funding change the kind of activities that the parties are involved in?

Public funding will only give them more money to waste. You think public funding is going to stop the back hand deal?

Them a joke, people need to go to prison for that kind of transaction. If it wasn't against the law, the law should be changed in the first place. This should never happen whether local or foriegn company.
