Out of interest. Why do we call it lobbying, and not bribery?
Because the people who do the bribing also control most of the media
It’s based on levels of professionalism and amounts of money
For a lot of money and some professionalism … it’s called bribery
For millions and billions of dollars and armies of lawyers and corporate elites … it’s called lobbying.
They both accomplish the same thing in the same way … we just call them different names.
That’s not entirely true. There lobbyists for say trade unions, and charity interest groups and such.
Just the corporate ones get all the attention.
I assume the lobbyists pay for that privilege.
