It's kinda a chicken/egg issue with the fiscal power... How do you get contributers if you don't get out there, but how do you get out there without the fiscal power.
I think that a lot of this will change with the growth of online politics -- this is also the reason that the old crowd at City Hall and the Province won't allow online voting. They say it's for security issues, but it's actually because they think they will lose their base if they allow it.
Sammy has all the old conservitives and is lacking the young urbanites (who don't actually get out to vote) and the NDP have all the lower wage earners in the inner city, some of whom don't have home internet access. Neither group has a motive to allow online voting.
