Why not ban lobbying completely?
This! only allow petitions as the method to steer law.
Power to the people needs money to be insignificant for the process of law
Lobbying is literally a form of petitioning.
Except, instead of using democratic methods you use Money 💰
Because lobbying is also done be environmental groups, neighborhood groups, consumer activists, … Ban lobbying would deprive a large set of the population of their voice
but it seems that this method of communication completely drowned out by moneyed interests
And if you kill it, money still finds its way somehow but the others don’t. The problem is money.
revoke lobbying access
