I guess the question is would an elected head of state mean more lobbying from more corrupt people. Sure Charlie might lobby against something happening in his back yard, and that's a pain, but I'd rather that than have big pharma lobby to loosen safety features on drug approvals, or big food lobby to bypass animal welfare
- bee_rider 4y agoHard to say, I guess. The US is a bit weird (pretty big, lots of huge companies call us home) so it probably gets more lobbying than most other countries I guess. I’d expect the UK to have a trajectory more like similar sized European countries (Germany maybe? Maybe compare to France, but of course French people have a unique relationship with their government…)
