We have this concept here in Costa Rica called deuda política, which translates to political debt: basically, money that the government gives political parties after the election, split out proportionally according to the percentage of votes they get, so that they can pay up debts incurred during the campaign.
One of the first things that I remember hearing about Movimiento Libertario was how they rejected political debt as being immoral, and you can still check out the pages on their site about it. Hell, in 2002 they even had this huge cardboard check made out for 284 million colones (about $750,000 at the time), written out to the people of Costa Rica, a symbol of their rejecting what they considered dirty money.
On August 28, 2005, the Movimiento announced that they’re “considering” taking the political debt money this year, as I predicted a bit back. According to Otto it’s just a few assemblymen that are suggesting it, but he’s dutifully considering it.
Apparently the party’s principles can be expected to have as much value as that big cardboard check.
