In other words, lobbying is great and there should be more of it!

I think people here are disappointed not so much in this particular outcome, but the harmful effects of a political system that is nearly entirely fueled by lobby money.

I mean, in other countries they call that "corruption".

I said nothing of the sort.

Lobbying is not the only way to influence. How about voting and educating the population for starters?

One particular outrageous mob-lob in germany is the driving instructor caste.

Basically, the old generations, are allowed to drive everything with there old driving allowances.

Now for every generation coming after that, new driving allowances are needed, per various class of vehicle, wether you have a trailer attached and so and and so forth.

Its the new kind of mob activity, that uses the law to pressure people into paying for unneeded services and obstruct buisness for new buisnesses.
