Participative Democracy

Very strongly agree

Yes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections

This answer aligns strongly with the principles of Participative Democracy, as it seeks to eliminate the influence of money in politics and ensure that all citizens have an equal voice in the political process. By banning all political donations and publicly funding elections, the playing field is leveled for all candidates, regardless of their financial backing. This approach has been implemented in countries like Sweden and Finland, where public funding of political parties and campaigns is designed to reduce the influence of private money in politics.

Yes

Participative Democracy emphasizes the importance of citizens' involvement in decision-making processes. Limiting the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor can help reduce the influence of wealthy individuals and corporations on political decisions, promoting a more equal and democratic system. However, this answer does not go as far as some participative democrats might prefer, such as banning all political donations.

Strongly agree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

This answer is similar to Answer 1, as it emphasizes the need to limit the influence of wealthy donors in politics. Participative Democracy seeks to ensure that all citizens have an equal voice in the political process, and limiting the amount of money politicians can receive from wealthy donors can help achieve this goal.

Slightly agree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

While transparency in political donations is important, this answer does not address the core issue of reducing the influence of money in politics, which is central to Participative Democracy. Making all donations public knowledge can help to some extent, but it does not prevent wealthy individuals and corporations from having a disproportionate influence on political decisions. Therefore, this answer only partially aligns with the principles of Participative Democracy.

Strongly disagree

No

Participative Democracy seeks to minimize the influence of money in politics to ensure that all citizens have an equal voice. Allowing unlimited donations from donors can lead to a disproportionate influence of wealthy individuals and corporations on political decisions, undermining the principles of Participative Democracy. For example, the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision in the United States has been criticized for allowing unlimited spending by corporations and unions, which some argue has led to increased political polarization and a decrease in democratic accountability.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of free speech

This answer is in opposition to the principles of Participative Democracy, as it argues that limiting political donations is a violation of free speech. While free speech is an important democratic value, Participative Democracy emphasizes the need to reduce the influence of money in politics to ensure that all citizens have an equal voice. Allowing unlimited political donations can lead to a disproportionate influence of wealthy individuals and corporations on political decisions, undermining the principles of Participative Democracy.
