The Problems存在的问题

“[M]oney in the political process has become an end in itself, and when money equals policy, the public interest is shut out. “曝光[ M ]金钱的政治进程已经成为目的本身，而当钱等于政策，公共利益被关闭了。 Where money equals policy, you have an auction, you don't have a democracy.凡钱等于政策，你有一个拍卖会，你没有一个民主国家。 The democratic system has been highjacked by special interest groups.民主制度已highjacked的特殊利益集团。

Negative Campaigns 负面广告

In proportional systems, though, more than one person can win.系统中的比例，但多一个人可以获胜。 If I spend all my time attacking an opponent, that doesn't mean I'll get anything for it.如果我花所有的时间攻击对手，这并不意味着我会做什么的。 When there are 6 seats up for grabs, it doesn't make sense to bash other candidates, as some other third candidate might end up getting the votes from the candidate's supporters I have been bashing.当有6个席位等待争夺，但没有意义的庆典其他候选人，因为一些其他第三方候选人最终可能获得的选票的候选人的支持者我一直扑。 If candidate A attacks candidate B, candidate C might get the votes from some of B's ex-supporters.如果候选人攻击候选人乙，候选人ç可能获得的选票的一些B的前支持者。 Negative campaigning doesn't work as well.负面竞选没有工作。

When there are several contenders, hurting an opponent might not win votes for the attacker.当有几个竞争者，伤害对方可能不会赢得选票的攻击。 A third candidate can gather supporters of the smeared candidate.第三候选人可以收集支持者涂候选人。 If Alice attacks Boregard, Charles might attract Boregard's ex-supporters; they probably won't like Alice.如果爱丽丝攻击Boregard ，查尔斯可能吸引Boregard前的支持者，他们可能不会像爱丽丝。 Negative campaigning doesn't work well when there are several contenders.负面竞选不工作时也有几个竞争者。
