Re: admit defeat?
"Until corporations are deprived of the right to lobby, the fight will go on."
Good luck with that, no matter how undemocratic buying favourable legislation is, big business will continue buying out consumer's rights from under them.
Lobbying will have to get a lot worse before there is an appreciable public backlash against it and part of the problem is that it is under reported, perhaps because those who could report on it are largely dependent on those same lobbyists.
