Report |
gollark: Small companies can band together to lobby for things!
gollark: Well, you don't want a government which entirely ignores large companies or also small companies.
gollark: I mean, alternatively, it's the art of paying people to agree with things somewhat more.
gollark: Lobbying somewhat problematic but probably unavoidable and I think you could help a bit by reducing government powers.
gollark: > As opposite extreme you could have a country with a super strict and specific constitution that is too holy for any politician to change (maybe a theocracy) but the gov controls most of the industryThe *government* still has a lot of political power inasmuch as it controls lots of things.
