spell check alert. you misspelled "lobbying"
I think you were trying to say:
> Not every country has a legitimate lobbying scheme as part of its political system.
- pjmlp 2y agoNah, I called for what it is.
- renjimen 2y agoLobbying corrupts democracy. The two are fundamentally at odds.
- jonnybgood 2y agoLobbying is part of democracy. Lobbying is neither good or bad. It's certain groups who are lobbying that you may feel corrupts democracy. But that's a feature of democracy; it also includes those who want to corrupt it. Lobbying is essential for legislation advocacy. Lobbying is how lawmakers get educated. How do lawmakers know what issues to address? What legislation to pass?
- renjimen 2y agoThat's fair. I guess I should have said "unregulated lobbying". Lobbying can be beneficial provided it is transparent, which it is not in the US.
