Latest News About Lobby Meaning In Politics

In politics, a “lobby” (or “lobbying”) generally means attempts to influence government decisions—most often by meeting with legislators or government officials and providing information, support, or pressure to shape laws and policy.[1]

What “lobby” can mean (two common uses)

• Lobbying / lobbying activity (influence efforts): Typically organized by interest groups, companies, nonprofits, or other advocates trying to affect legislation or regulation.[1]
• The “Parliamentary lobby” (UK media access): In the UK, “the lobby” can also refer to journalists who cover Parliament and the access they receive (separate from lobbying as policy influence).[2]
