This is your masters flexing their muscles.

Unfortunately, money won't even be out of politics if you ban lobbying, i.e. legalized bribery. Even with all those lobbyists gone / hidden away, the people with control over corporations will still hold massive leverage over people's lives and the functioning of the state. They can make life difficult for any politician and they still do so in countries that banned lobbying.

Not that it wouldn't be good to ban lobbying. Things are just even worse that you might think!
