3 Factions (or special interests) Madison (1787) Federalist No. 10 the most common and durable source of factions, has been the various and unequal distribution of property. Those who hold and those who are without property, have ever formed distinct interests in society.
4 Influence of institutions Institutional design should influence the nature of lobbying in a democratic polity Importantly, the level of democratic accountability that emerges from the institutional structure should play a role in the behavior of interest groups Other institutional aspects of the policymaking process should matter as well

16 Conclusions Institutional, issue and interest group factors all have implications for lobbying success The US system leads to more winner take all outcomes, with business more often than not succeeding in their lobbying goals The EU tends toward compromise
17 Citizens United vs. the FEC Supreme court overturned (5-4) a provision of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act which prohibited all corporations, both for-profit and non-profit from broadcasting electioneering communications The majority opinion argued that Congress could not suppress political speech in newspapers, books, televisions and blogs since it was protected by the first amendment
18 Citizens United vs. the FEC The dissenting opinion concluded: At bottom the Court s opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt. Ralph Nader (Public Citizen): With this decision, corporations can now directly pour vast amounts of corporate money, through independent expenditures, into the electoral swamp already flooded with corporate campaign PAC contribution dollars
19 Citizens United vs. the FEC The New York Times: The Supreme Court has handed lobbyists a new weapon. A lobbyist can now tell any elected official: If you vote wrong, my company, labor union or interest group will spend unlimited sums explicitly advertising against your re-election. Newsweek: the most serious threat to American democracy in a generation
20 Recommendations Re-introduce a bill similar to the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act to encourage the overturning of Citizens United Advocate for stricter enforcement of the Lobby Disclosure Act and the Honest Leadership & Open Government Act Increase policing of registration by lobbyists with the Clerk {Innovative strategies for this include public-public partnerships} Require lobbyists registering with the Clerk to list specific bills on which they are lobbying listing energy policy should not count as compliance {this will make it easier for watchdog groups like Open Secrets to do their job} Public financing of elections
