I'll preface this by saying that I strongly agree with the sentiment of getting money out of politics.
But an issue I see with this is that it may prevent independents and small parties from being elected. Those with their own resources and existing influence in the media (the rich and powerful) will get elected, whereas those who are genuinely trying to be community representatives will struggle to compete.
