    There are zero democratic countries on this planet. Governments almost never enact policy that their voters want if that policy conflicts with the interests of rich people. That is a general fact, scientifically proven in multiple EU countries. The influence voters have over what their government does is very minimal and only impacts surface level things. Real change only comes through direct imdividual action and the threat of guillotines.

      Wrong. Lobbying is a thing in all countries, I get that, but most of the time, it is lobbying in the parties that already supports your cause as a company. Therefore, it’s up to the citizens, to see through the noise, and still agree or dissagree with those parties. (If its a multiple party parlament, not that 2 party shitshow like usa)
