If by lobbying, you mean a professional entity, or
persons, who meets with members of the government to sway legislation by
inducements, trips, and endorsements, then no. What Americans call lobbying; we call
corruption.
Everyone has access to the government. The Prime Minister’s Office has an email, and
all emails, except troll messages, are responded to within three working days. There are regular meet the people sessions,
where Members of Parliament, even the Prime Minister, meet the people they represent,
to listen to their local concerns and address them. And groups organise themselves to petition for
causes, or share their positions. None
of that is lobbying; that is the process of democratic accountability.
