I could see it even more so in a non-profit entity where this would clearly attract people who are very zealous about the particular thing they're interested in and would be very happy to volunteer to speak to members of Parliament or senior bureaucrats, but there's no way of catching those people. Perhaps there's no reason to catch them, but there is no way to catch them because they're not being paid. I'm wondering what the theory is. Is the idea that the whole thing is the exchange of money, otherwise everything goes?
