Base del financiamiento público


Pregunta¿Cuál es la base del financiamiento público?
Respuestas c. Basado en su representación parlamentaria actual
e. Otros
Respuestas Funds are allocated according a formula that takes into account the proportion of members a party has in the National Assembly and the provincial legislatures and a minimum threshold amount to ensure equity. Accordingly 90% of the allocation of the financial year is paid in proportion to each party's aggregate seat representation in the sum of the seats of the National Assembly and Provincial legislatures. The remaining 10% is divided among the provinces proportionately to the number of seats in each province and the provincial allocations are divided equally among the parties in each legislature.
