You don't get your money back if you lose your political support.  Well thats a kick in the pants.

 

 

Well, it's to help prevent small, extremist parties, who wouldn't really be able to get much exteranal funding, from running. If you got your deposit back, anyone could just take out a loan and pay it back, no matter what their views. 

I don't see a problem with that.  Why shouldn't everyone get their say?

Personally I like the US way of doing things better.   You just need to get a number of signatures saying they'd like you to run.

Not people that would vote for you per say.  Just people who are interested in what you have to say.
