In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

Yes. Ban all political donations. The government should give each political party the same amount of money: enough to stand a candidate in every riding. Reports of how every dollar was spent by the parties should then be written and available to the public.
