I would take public lobbying anyday over outlawing it like where I live and it being restricted to people who have enough money to do it behind closed doors.
I would take the complete removal of meat-based politicians replaced with open-source AI with transparent training, weights, and a window into its decision/reasoning process open to the public at all times.
Voting for amendments will be implemented as pull requests :)
(aww downvotes.. can't believe people still willingly suck up for politicians)
In practice, there is very little difference, no point splitting hair saying coke is better than pepsi.
It is still done behind closed door, as much as it would be without lobbying. Lobbying is on top of that.
