Whoa, nelly.

Lobbyists don't / can't force consumers to do anything. Lobbyists
don't / can't force legislatures to do anything. Lobbyists are paid to
influence legislatures. Presumably, the clients who pay them want them
to do a good job. If said lobbyists have 'got' legislatures to do
something the client desires, then they have done a good job.

However ... legislatures are paid to represent the will of the people.
If legislatures 'water down laws' that the people, their clients,
desire, then said legislatures have not done a good job.

Remember: in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.

Cheers,

Henry
