Can somebody explain me why a democracy allows for donations at all? Donations will clearly skew the political landscape towards the people who have money to donate. And those people are more likely to donate with an expected value. So they will try to skew the politics in their favour.

Why would it be bad to forbid any kind of political donation for established parties. I see the need to fund a grow new parties, but established parties should get by with the money they receive from the government.
