Please help get lobbying regulation into the top five demands on Power2010: Do you think the public should be able to see who is influencing government policy? Whether it’s IT companies lobbying for the introduction of ID cards; private healthcare firms wanting a piece of the NHS; arms manufacturers pushing for big defence contracts; or the aviation industry's influence over government policy on airport expansion. At the moment, we have no right to know who is lobbying whom, and about what. We now have a chance to end secrecy in lobbying. Power2010 is a new campaign where you get to push for political reform. New transparency rules for lobbyists is just one idea out of a long list of proposed reforms – the top 5 most popular ideas, as voted for by you, will become part of a major campaign in the run up to the general election. Which means there’s a strong chance that lobbying transparency rules can become policy. If you would like to see commercial lobbying opened up to greater public scrutiny, please vote for it now: http://www.power2010.org.uk/votes/entry/fully-disclose-mps-and-civil-servants-communications-with-lobbyists Thanks SpinWatch
