Your daily reminder.. Political Parties are NOT Private Clubs.. they are literally created and ran to form government.. to get their members elected.. election laws are created to hold parties to account, to ensure those running for public seats are doing so ethically and fairly.
Election laws that legalize fraud, identity theft and money laundering is a smack in the face to democracy.. we just saw that happen today Alberta.. and NOT without warning I may add.
Elections are for the people.. not the party.. laws should reflect that. One person, one vote. Foreign funding/interference should be banned, not legislated in the election act. Financial disclosure should be monthly, not yearly. Failure to comply should include criminal charges.
Government isnt a private corporation.. it is a public institution.. parties are public entities in which politicians intend to form government.. politicians are public servants who are meant to represent their constituents, voted for by the public.. private clubs my ass.
Calling political parties private clubs seems elitist AF to me.. do you agree?
