It would be very difficult to outlaw lobbying completely without raising serious free-speech issues. That is not to say it is not a troublesome practice.

What free speech issues arise? Why is bribery not allowed under free speech? It's just calling something under a different name and legalising it. I think big money probably needs to be taken out of politics because all it will inevitably cause is corruption and gives others an unfair advantage.
