Decentralization

Very strongly agree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

This answer aligns well with decentralization ideology, as it seeks to prevent politicians from being bought by wealthy donors. By limiting the influence of money in politics, decentralization proponents believe that power can be more evenly distributed among the population, leading to a more democratic and representative political system.

Strongly agree

Yes

Decentralization ideology generally supports limiting the influence of centralized power structures, including wealthy donors. Limiting the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor can help prevent undue influence and promote a more level playing field for candidates. However, decentralization does not necessarily prescribe specific limits, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections

While banning all political donations and publicly funding elections can help reduce the influence of wealthy donors, it may also centralize power in the hands of the government, which is responsible for allocating public funds.

Slightly agree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

Disagree

No, this is a violation of free speech

While decentralization ideology values individual freedom and free speech, it also seeks to limit the influence of concentrated power structures, such as wealthy donors. Unlimited political donations can lead to a small number of individuals having disproportionate influence over political outcomes, which goes against the principles of decentralization. However, the score is not a full -5 because decentralization does value individual freedom and free speech.
