In the UK there is a lot of talk and quite some movment into getting rid of single large doners manipulating political parties.

I must admit the few political broadcasts i have seen from the US, those being repeated on UK news channels have been massivly negative, not intrested in what they can do Mr Everday American and the American country, but obsessed with slinging dirt at the other party.

Very, very ugly and as far away from democracy as it is almost possible to get.
 
All the main political partys in the Uk have agreed that funding from the state is the way future, they just can't agree on how to impement it yet.

On a side note, i know discussing politics is not wise on an internet forum (and thats understating it!😉 ) but i've always found it odd that the US is a 2 party state.

A 3rd polical party would at least give a wider choice, or failing that, Robin Williams!
 
See I'm not against tax-exempt political advertising, I just think they need to be tied to a candidate. 527's enable the extremely negative advertisements by not making anyone own up to them.

Charlie Brown for Congress!
