Lobbyists
The unhealthy influence of big business on government is undermining democracy the world over. But government officials are public servants who work for us, the voters who put them in place. They should be accountable for how they spend their time, and especially who they spend it with. In the UK, an investigation by the environmental group DeSmog found that British ministers met with fossil fuel companies nine times more than with clean energy companies over the past two years or so. This flies in the face of the government’s climate policy for cutting emissions by 68% by 2030.
