There is an absolutely huge difference between your membership and those that vote for you. Those that become members in a political party, volunteer and donate money are far less than 1% of those that vote for the party.
If the inability to get 10% of those that vote for a party to give $100 to that party equates to incompetence, then every single party in Canada is incompetent. Which might be the case.
But let's try this out Jammies. You voted Green in the last two elections. During that period how much money did you give to the party?
