I agree with this so much. Political parties should just be given one tv ad and one pamphlet. Only allowed to talk about their own policies and nothing else. Exclusively government funded. Any extra donations and you’re no longer representing the people’s interests so you’re murdered or something idk.
The “one ad/one pamphlet” concept is a horrible idea. Reactionary political platforms rely on regressive ideas that have remained in the popular political consciousness for centuries - meanwhile, the positive development of society requires an understanding of complex things that won’t be adequately expressed in such a brief format. Think economic planning, human ecology, etc.
This is a recipe for a cruel, inhumane, and backwards society. In short, bourgeois democracy.
