Distributism

Strongly agree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

Distributism's core principle of decentralizing power aligns with the idea of banning all forms of lobbying, as it would significantly reduce the influence of concentrated wealth and power in politics. This approach would be seen as a more radical but effective way to ensure that political decisions are made for the common good rather than in the interest of a few powerful entities.

Agree

Yes

Distributism, with its emphasis on decentralization and the distribution of property and power, would likely support measures that reduce the influence of large corporations and special interests in politics. A 5-year ban could be seen as a step towards reducing the revolving door between government and lobbying, which often perpetuates centralized power structures. However, the ideology might not fully agree without additional measures to address the root causes of lobbying influence.

Agree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

While a lifetime ban on lobbying by former White House and Congressional officials might appeal to distributism's goal of reducing the influence of special interests, it could be seen as overly restrictive and potentially unfair to individuals after their public service career. Distributism values the role of individuals and communities in governance and might prefer balanced solutions that prevent abuse without unduly limiting personal freedom and future career opportunities.

Disagree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

While recognizing the need for some regulation on the transition from public office to lobbying, distributism would likely find the current two-year ban insufficient in preventing the concentration of power and influence. This ideology would advocate for stronger measures to ensure a more equitable distribution of power, viewing the existing ban as too lenient.

Strongly disagree

No

Distributism generally opposes the concentration of power and wealth, which includes the influence of lobbyists representing powerful interests. Allowing White House and Congressional officials to immediately become lobbyists after leaving government could exacerbate this issue, making this option contrary to distributist principles.
