Great, let's bans all of them from "donating" (bribing) again.

We could attach a choke collar to them to pull them away from politicians.

Except someone would have to stand there and hold it, that's too much work. Just tie it to a tree.

Except they would just untie it, so we'll have to tie it to a high branch.

Hey wait a minute, if we use a high enough branch, this problem solves itself!

Political parties having a need to be funded is a serious flaw of the democratic system. 'With your vote I'll try and fix your problem' just doesn't work if you also just said 'With your money you decide what solution is best'.
