lobby
Significado: To seek to influence a politician, official, or decision-maker on a particular issue; as a noun, a group of people seeking to influence politicians, or a large entrance hall or waiting area in a building.
In British politics, lobbying is a significant industry, with professional lobbyists, trade associations, and campaign groups all seeking to influence government policy. The 'lobby' at Westminster refers both to the physical lobbies where MPs vote (the 'division lobbies') and to the system of political journalists (the 'lobby correspondents') who have privileged access to Parliament. 'Lobby group' and 'lobbying firm' are common collocations. Concerns about corporate lobbying have led to calls for greater transparency.
