> there are not enough representatives outside of the business stakeholders at the table putting themselves forward for representation I read a political science study of how lobbying really works. My memory of it is hazy so these details may be off, but they concluded that on the order of 80% of lobbyists, lobbying, and money are for/by big business. The claim of 'special interests', which for some reason includes environmentalists but not big business, having so much influence is wrong; they are badly outgunned by their opponents. (The book is nowhere near me or I'd share its name.)
