Third Way

Agree

Yes

The Third Way ideology, which advocates for a middle ground between the traditional left and right political spectrums, might see a 5-year ban as a reasonable compromise to reduce the influence of special interests while not completely severing the connection between public service and private sector expertise. This approach aligns with Third Way's emphasis on pragmatic, moderate policies.

Slightly agree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

While Third Way ideology might find the current two-year ban somewhat effective, they are also likely to support moderate reforms that could further reduce potential conflicts of interest and improve public trust in government. Thus, they might view the current ban as a starting point rather than a sufficient measure.

Disagree

No

Third Way proponents typically favor reforms that aim to balance interests and improve governance. Completely opposing a ban on officials becoming lobbyists might be seen as too lenient on the revolving door between government and lobbying, which could undermine public trust and governance quality. Therefore, they are unlikely to strongly agree with this stance.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

Banning all forms of lobbying would likely be seen by Third Way advocates as too extreme and not in line with their principles of balanced, moderate reforms. Lobbying, when transparent and regulated, can be a way for various sectors to have a voice in the legislative process, which aligns with the inclusive and pragmatic approach of Third Way ideology.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

A lifetime ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists would likely be viewed by Third Way proponents as excessively restrictive and impractical. It could prevent valuable expertise from being utilized in the private sector and in policy advocacy, which contradicts Third Way's emphasis on pragmatic solutions and leveraging expertise across sectors for balanced policy-making.
