Lobbying seriously needs to be abolished. Sickening practice.
As long as corruption exists, lobbying will exist.
That’s like saying “as long as stabbing exists, stab wounds are here to stay.”
Lobbying is a critical part of a working democracy, the issue is that lobbying has got out of control with regards to spending and in many cases outright corruption.
So what is so critical about lobbying?
In an ideal world, it informs politicians about issues seen in society, a healthy politician might not see the issues a person in a wheelchair does, thus the person in a a wheelchair needs to talk with others in the same situation and form a group that can lobby their cause.
Unfortunately, as with anything, wealth does have a huge advantage here, so limits on money spent lobbying is a very good idea, banning it outright is a very bad idea, probably impossible in any country with free speech.
Paid lobbying should be illegal. That's a bit better.
Congresspeople would be even less informed than they are currently if there was no lobbying. There definitely needs to be limits to lobbying, but scientists lobby too, that’s why we have laws around ozone, chemicals in water, etc.
