My partner (academic) has worked for NGOs (making scientifically backed reports on certain subjects) that function as lobbyists within the EU parliament trying to push for greener policies.
Not all lobbying is bad. And as has been mentioned here already, banning them will just make their influence and actions more hidden.
- radiator 3y agoEvery great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket Eric Hoffer. I don't know why you try to make an exception and claim that some lobbyists in Brussels are selflessly pushing for greener policies without trying to derive personal gains for themselves. I for one see plainly that there are millions of people who stand to lose, or already have lost, profits, jobs, entire livelihoods and others who profit enormously from those green policies of the EU. Did you hear anything about the recent farmers protest across Europe?

I don't know why you try to make an exception and claim that some oblivious farmers that are pushing againts greener policies in an attempt to derive personal gains for themselves are somehow in the right. I for one see plainly that there are millions of people who stand to lose, or already have lost, profits, jobs and entire livelihoods from the ongoing crisis the world is experiencing, not to mention all those who profit enormously from keeping things as they are. Have you heard anything about the ongoing climate catastrophe we are experiencing?
