You mean campaigning in the current political climate is significantly easier if you are able to garner a large amount of donations.
Meaning a successful political party has two options: to appeal to the values of New Zealanders, or to develop relationships with the richest of NZ (or those with interests in NZ.)
Is that the foundation of NZ democracy? It may well be, I'm certainly not strong on NZ's political history beyond Michael Savage FTW.
