With the recent news on Monsanto, I asked myself the question if lobbying isn't a form of bribery. Manipulating people by accommodating them in several ways.
Now I know (by experience) that lobbying is a necessary evil for interest groups to be heard. Sadly, the availability of people in power is abused by the large money pouches of multinationals for example.
What are your thoughts? Is there a distinct line, where lobbying should be considered bribery?
