No, trusting the authorities to do the right thing, would be sitting at home and doing absolutly nothing.

Right, which is why I'm saying that your 'solution' is nothing. It boils down to: "Lobby!(1) Then go home(2), sit and wait(3)"

  1. With your loads of cash and free time.
  2. Which of course everyone has.
  3. Which is a luxury we can certainly all afford.

Great that we agree that lobbying works. Otherwise you would not go home and sit around and just wait. With a fixed problem however that is perfectly fine.

Great, my work is done. I've done a lobby and convinced you that Lobbying doesn't actually change anything and that you'll have to actually do something. And now I can sleep easy knowing that you'll fix it all for me!
