Suppose we allow only short published stump speeches and nothing else. What prevents the green team from registering 200 yellow candidates who will all submit yellow-sounding platforms in order to split the vote? Don’t we want to allow the public to judge candidates on more than their ability to write a single speech? Politics and representation is picking someone to perform tasks as our agent that go well beyond writing a single short speech with lots of lead time. | ||

Well that doesn’t happen currently so it probably won’t happen in this scenario. Nor does it really happen in countries that have implemented bans on private campaign financing. |
