Daylight robbery !

The discussions of the three main political parties are giving bias in their favour at the expense of smaller political parties and Independents and therefore to the detriment of democracy. It will inhibit the growth of other parties and political positions.

41% of the electorate chose not to vote in the 2005 General Election.

With the overspending during the 2005 General Election, which each party did voluntarily, the three main parties are activity discussing the taxpayer to finance their unprincipled behaviour.

A maximum to be levied on monies spent by all political parties equally and for them to have to act and fund raise within the law and be provably seen to do. The use of taxpayers money will be an open cheque to these profligate spenders.

State funding applies on the Continent and it has not stopped corruption by political parties of public funds in Germany, France and Italy.

Your interim assessment indicates an overwhelming lack of support from the public for State Funding, as this is a democracy that counts. It is also their money.

Based on just the above where is there any justification for the State Funding of political parties in the UK?
