What are the Arguments that goes Against State Funding? (EX)

-Taxpayers may not Fund what may be 'Private Organisations' and argue Other, more Better usage of Taxpayers Money -How should the Funding be Dished out. Basing on Past Performance gives Home Advantage to Big Parties. Or on Future Aspirations, which is quite Unknown? 2007 Phillips Report called for a 'pence-per-voter' Formula, which would only Benefit the 2 Main Parties that got the Most Votes. -Parties may lose Independence and become Organs of the State [If Funded by Gov, then they may be Less Reluctant?] [Public Scepticism if Taxpayer isn't Happy with that Party getting Money] -Lead to Lots of Regulation regarding Parties. Eg: PPERA 2000 already dishes out a Tough Environment on Party Spending and other Elections. More Regulation may make it Harder to Campaign
