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
I assume the lobbyists pay for that privilege.
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.
