Lobbying government should be illegal because it allows concentrated wealth and special interests to exert disproportionate influence over public policy, undermining democratic equality. When corporations or well-funded groups can shape laws behind closed doors, elected officials may prioritize the interests of private organisations and individuals over the public good, eroding trust in democratic institutions.
