The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 35
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Some overarching principles could be drawn upon to guide the development and operation of political party financing rules. Public financing of political parties is often used as an avenue to provide equality of opportunity to all parties and guarantee competitive participation of diverse ideas and views. Public funding principally benefits parties that are unable to otherwise raise private funds for any number of reasons, including because they are smaller parties, or their ideology does not appeal to a majority of would-be donors, or those that represent marginalized groups, such as women and youth. Hence, public funding should not be used to interfere with a party's independence and further or create overdependency on State resources.
