Sure, it's legal, but how is it democratic?
- chrisseaton 4y agoLobbying is an essential part of most democracies - how would you’re representatives know how to represent you if you weren’t allowed to tell them?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoIf just telling them what you want is all that lobbying entailed, then it wouldn't be an issue. Of course there is more to it than that.
- chrisseaton 4y agoWhat’s what ‘lobbying’ means. If you actually mean bribing then say that.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoBecause a democratically elected government created the lobbying rules. It's the same, somewhat paradoxical, reasoning that allow for governments to systematically put up barriers to voting or to dilute votes through gerrymandering. Since its a elected government, its all good.
