Yes, so long as every party receives the same amount with restrictions and transparency on how they spend that money.

They should all be given the same. No lobbying. No funding beyond individual donations of a maximum of $1000 per year. If they can't run on a budget then they are not going to be able to run the country

Yes, but only if all parties get the same amount AND there should be more restrictions and transparency on how they spend the money.

 @9QZGVSTfrom Michigan  answered…4mos4MO

Every political party should be given the same amount of money, enough to raise candidates for every riding, and all outside political donations should be prohibited. There should be public reports on how every dollar was spent by the parties.

For the most part, yes. I do believe that all official political parties should receive some money from the federal government. I think it should be an equal amount, split across all parties, and then their members can contribute their own money to funding the political party they support.

No, if a party cannot sustain itself purely from its members than it has demonstrated it does not have the support of the citizens to continue existing.
