Also, note I said "current legislation." Do you understand what that means in the context of political donations? It means that donating money to a party makes you very minimal as far as individual influence.

Nice try, but I said no such thing. I said that we should support parties we agree with as individuals.We should also support parties that we as a collective support as individuals. For example, I detest Harper and his platform, but I would never suggest that we as a collective shouldn't support the Conservatives as many Canadians agree with their policies. You, however, seem to think that since you as an individual do not like a certain party, then they shouldn't be supported by anyone.
Given your view on the voting subsidy, how then can you not consider political donations to be anything but graft?
