From Grassroots to the Airwaves:
Paying for Political Parties and Campaigns in the Caribbean
Introduction
Elections in CARICOM States are privately funded. The system thus
tends to favour established parties and incumbents with existing
state control and/or established support amongst local and
expatriate business communities. Caps on spending by candidates are
absent or extremely low and are rarely respected. There is no
ceiling on the funding parties can raise or spend and, with few
exceptions, donors are not obliged to declare what they give, nor
are parties obliged to declare what they receive. Most donors insist
on confidentiality, in part because they fear that disclosure would
invite victimization or charges of partiality. |
