Lobbying is, as far as I know, legal in every functional democracy.
I think you are confusing this with campaign contributions, which is a different but related activity.
- coldtea 11y agoI'm not aware of lobbies, established for a specific purpose, with offices and personel, and getting donations, in any functional democracy I know of.
