That could be pretty easily abused, imagine, by straw men siphoning state money without any prospect of winning.
At least in Europe, there are campaign financial limits so things don't get too out of hand. Corruption, therefore, is done via other means.
Iirc here in Germany you get some funding based on the votes you got last election.
This reduces reliance on outside funding without enabling freeloaders, but sucks for first timers.
Yep, same in the Czech Republic.
