I believe the proper nomenclature is lobbied. Therefore it’s legal and okay. Definitely not just another word for bribery and corruption, no no no.

And when you don’t know what 80:20 rule means, that’s when Wikipedia comes to the rescue.
The Pareto principle (also known as the 80:20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity[1][2]) states that, for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the “vital few”).[1]


The term is used to describe detention in prison for an indefinite length of time;[3] a judge may rule that a person be “detained at His Majesty’s pleasure” for serious offences or based on a successful insanity defence.[4] This is sometimes used where there is a great risk of re-offending. However, it is most often used for juvenile offenders, usually as a substitute for life sentencing (which might be much longer for youthful offenders). For example, section 259 of the Sentencing Act 2020 (which applies to England and Wales) states, “where […] a person convicted of murder, or any other offence the sentence for which is fixed by law as life imprisonment, and the person appears to the court to have been aged under 18 at the time the offence was committed. The court must sentence the offender to be detained during Her Majesty’s pleasure.”[5]
Prisoners held at His Majesty’s pleasure are periodically reviewed to determine whether their sentence can be deemed complete; although this power traditionally rested with the monarch, such reviews are now made in the name of the monarch, on the advice of government officials — the Secretary of State for Justice in England and Wales, for instance. Minimum terms are also set, before which the prisoner cannot be released; in England and Wales, these were originally set by the Home Secretary, but, since 30 November 2000, have been set by the trial judge.[6] Prisoners’ sentences are typically deemed to be complete when the reviewing body is “satisfied that there has been a significant change in the offender’s attitude and behaviour”.[6]

It’s specifically not life in prison because minors aren’t fully responsible for themselves and life from the age of 10 and life from the age of, for example, 55 are completely different things.


A child (pl. children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty,[1][2] or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty.[3] The term may also refer to an unborn human being.[4][5] In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a person younger than the local age of majority (there are exceptions such as, for example, the consumption and purchase of alcoholic beverages even after said age of majority[6]), regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults.[1][7][8]

In law, a minor is someone under a certain age, usually the age of majority, which demarcates an underage individual from legal adulthood. The age of majority depends upon jurisdiction and application, but it is commonly between 18 and 21.
