Party funding, just words...

After the scandal of the Lega and after the scandal of the Democratic Party, it seems that in Italy the political world is working to change the current legislation which allows, essentially, each one to do whatever the hell they want. The question is simple, we use to fill parties with public money, they spend it as they like, then after some scandals so many cute little birds come to sing you have to change the system. To think that we are in the hands of people whose millions are robbed under their nose without them realizing it, makes you vomit (if that is true ...). Now, what they would change? It 's likely that, to some extent, the parties financing is necessary, in order not to depend on every interest that may not always be the one of the State (...). To avoid that politics becomes a thing only for the riches, too. But Bersani telling me that by law the budget of the parties must be certified, it is one thing that makes me almost cry. In my opinion, that should be the minimum. I think we should arrive at a system where funding is solely and exclusively  a reimburse for expenses incurred during the election campaign. This, however, carried out in a direct manner. Let's say the Democratic Party claims to have incurred expenses for thirty millions. Not a cent of these should go to the party,  instead would be the State that, directly, would pay who printed the leaflets, the provider of other services, in short, anyone who has worked in the campaign. With a predetermined maximum amount. And with a cost, for example, of the single wheel, which by law may not be extended beyond a given limit. You might even get to do some sort of "Country Office for electoral materials", if it weren't that then politicians would put their hands on it. Obviously the idea is rather utopian and just as obviously there will be thousand objections which now don't come to my mind (if they occur to you, comment ...) but if nothing else at least politicians wouldn't have public money in their hands. This would give us, perhaps, less reason to take them all stoned ...
