Closed Hold an inquiry into lobbying practices in the UK

Closed on

We want the Government to hold an inquiry into lobbying practices in the UK, including those that involve the giving of a financial or other advantage in order to try to influence the Government or Parliament, and the impact this has on policy.

I care about the integrity of UK democracy and believe lobbying is inconsistent with the principle of one person, one vote, by enabling a 'pay to win' system.

Some lobbying activities appear to involve the exchange of a financial or other advantage for influence, which gives wealthy individuals the opportunity to undermine democracy and the will of the people.
