Why not? Populism, lobbying – this is standard practice in politics. That's the rules of the game. They will be here for decades if not forever. You either play by the rules and have your voice heard, or refuse to play and get nothing.
The fact that this system needs to change in long term has nothing to do with getting what you need today. It's not mutually exclusive.
