> Reduce allotted time for campaigning to something like 2 months, and maybe have it publicly funded like Australia
I do want to say that public funding also comes with its issues. Its the way most parties in Argentina fund themselves and because all of them do, all parties get to put their hand of the State coffers during elections. So much, they made an electoral reform to have another round of elections, just to be able to spend more money on pork.
There is no solution to funding political parties that wont screw someone. Its yet another example of diminishing the scope of government so they just steal less of it.
