Elizabeth on removing per-vote subsidy
Elizabeth’s question regarding the budget was smart. Watch the Conservative member avoid the question. He does not answer why the government perversely chose to trim the most democratic and fair form of public finance for political parties. The Conservatives like the subsidies that give rich people the majority of their money back when they contribute to political parties, but would deny the funding that goes to parties people vote for even when they can’t afford to contribute.
You can get a good explanation of what is going on here.
