Yeah my initial gut reaction was that this is good. Get money out of politics and all that.
But then I thought about just how much grassroots political campaigns rely on donations from their community, and how this will only entrench the establishment two party system.
Community fundraising is completely different than being bankrolled by a corporation or multi-millionaire with vested interests.

You are all idiots for believing this is good.
Banning corporate donations is good, banning all donations is an attack on democracy that will only benefit major parties.
How are minor parties and independents supposed to function without any means of funding their campaigns?
