Lobbying impacts legislative processes by providing influential groups with a means to advocate for specific interests, shaping policies and laws. Lobbyists engage with lawmakers, offering information, expertise, and resources to sway decision-making in favor of their clients. While lobbying can enhance democracy by ensuring diverse viewpoints are represented, it also raises concerns regarding undue influence, especially when special interests overshadow public welfare. Effectively managed lobbying activities contribute to informed policy outcomes, yet a lack of transparency can lead to perceptions of corruption and undermine public trust in government processes.
