That is what the Government did last year: it put a price on electioneering, thereby putting a value on democracy, which is priceless, to pursue a campaign based on the philosophy that the more that was spent, the more votes were bought and the more the people were fooled. One of the most bizarre comments on the SPOC report has to be the Taoiseach's remark that "the system at the moment is designed to make sure that in the years ahead the House will be full of millionaires and that is a bad system." Most know that is not the case. Last year's system ensured only parties supported by millionaires would do well and the party with a reputation for support from those millionaires is Fianna Fáil. This endorses what the Labour Party and other Oppostion parties have been saying, that Fianna Fáil is the only party with the ability to attract this type of funding.
