在国外的政党政治中,金钱在政党的选举与执政中扮演着重要角色,如2004年美国总统大选,参加竞选的两大党耗费竞选经费高达40亿美元以上,成为美国历史上最昂贵的一次竞选。因此,各政党为了自身的生存与发展,通过各种方式筹集活动经费。在这一过程中,为了尽量避免钱权交易、金钱政治,各国对政党经费的筹集和使用作了严格规定,形成了一套比较成熟的运作方式和规则。 In foreign party politics, money plays an important role in the election and administration of political parties. For example, in the 2004 U.S. presidential election, the two major parties participating in the election campaign cost more than 4 billion U.S. dollars to become the most expensive one in U.S. history Election. Therefore, for their own survival and development, various political parties have raised funds for activities through various means. In this process, in order to avoid trading of money and power and money politics as much as possible, all countries have strictly stipulated the collection and use of funds of political parties and formed a relatively mature mode of operation and rules.
