    "content": "Free ownership of political parties by the people, through their taxes, is critical in the functioning of a democracy. The other alternative that we have used is that parties have been funded by wealthy individuals, by contributors, including external contributors. The result has been domination of political parties by individuals who contribute large sums of money. In a way, even those Members who are not well endowed with funds feel excluded, and therefore cannot participate fully. In the end, this results in ownership of political parties by individuals, who become dictators within such parties. Many a times you never know, particularly in a country like ours, the sources of the funds that get into the party. I personally believe that many a times these funds are obtained through corruption. Therefore, corruption infiltrates into the structures of the parties."
