Lobbying

Lobbying is any kind of pressure exerted on certain groups in order to achieve some goal.It is most common in politics for pressure groups to lobby politicians and/or media.
There are two main types of pressure groups:insider and outsider.
Insider pressure groups influence the political process,they have links connecting them with decision makers and usually are consulted by the goverment. Outsider groups are on the other hand outside the political process, either they dont want to take part in it or they simply cant(i.e because of their radical views)
Lobbying is a part of the politics.Many people consider it as something wrong since more resourceful pressure groups tend to have more influence in politics. There is a risk that Big Business can lobby for decision and acts that are against the common good of the society(i.e big tobacco companies)
