Answer 2

The internet has become an efficient means of communication for the most diverse media spectra. In politics, the development of the internet has made it possible for the elector, the politician, and his party to be more closely connected. The same can be observed regarding the funds for elections.

This is a good democratic and clear form of election campaign funding, but must be regulated to avoid abuse of economic power in politics.
