Lobbying in and of itself isn't bad, it makes our politicians aware of issues and alternatives.

Unrestricted lobbying is the problem, I recently read that lobbyists from Amazon would no longer have access cards to the European parliament so they no longer could come and go as they liked.

I just wonder why lobbyists ever got that access in the first place...
