*** Two main motivations for donors : - *influence* *motivation* = you want something in return of your gift. A form of legal corruption - *electoral motivation* : increase the chances of winning for the supported [[parti politique|party]] One can add a weaker version of the electoral motivation : *expressive motivation* : derive satisfaction from the act in itself of donating The main reason why you give more to a party that is in [[pouvoir|power]] is that you want to get influence.

Do you have more access to politicians when you give They redacted two reclamations text to political congressman, in one they said they were donors and in the other they didn't mentioned it. *-> it changed radically the chances of meeting the person* Yes [[funding political parties]] is a good way to influence the [[vie politique|political life]] of a [[État|country]]. It is also a good way to change the legal framework.
