Finnancial lobbying should be outlawed. It's very equivalent to the ability to buying votes and we know that buying power is very unequally spread across the country. I find it shocking that anyone would doubt that. BTW, financial lobbying is outlawed in most other democracies.

I am sure that there will be loopholes to exploit.

It's better than nothing. A heck of a lot better.

Of course it's better and again, the experience of other democracies (say in Scandinavia for instance) proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt.
