 Grinproduction is not new, we should not be complacent by the fact that there have been no scandals or there are no revelations in the media that everything is fine in Scotland. Having said that, it is a really good time to consider these proposals. In terms of good governance and even look at these things, best to do it not in a crisis moment when you are reacting to something but to look across the field and think what can we do to improve the transparency and accountability of this parliament? There are very sound principles. Proposals around lobbying transparency are completely aligned to the family the family principles of this institution, I think would make a real concrete contribution to actually advancing that. For the Electoral Forum Society, all the research that we have done through focus groups and our Democracy Max Inquiry shows us that the general public feel that there is an opaqueness and a secrecy going on behind politics and they would like more transparency, which would yn ddechrau'r berthynas ar y process, i au bod yn tynnu'rocraticodau ar y cyfarf画 ac yn dechrau'r cyfarf modified ar eich cyfarfadhau, ac mae'n rhai menthechiaeth yn Majesty.

I suppose, from the society's point of view, certainly we've detected no particular problem with what lobbying is carried out in the Scottish Parliament or with the Scottish Government. I think, though echoing what Juliet has said, in terms of maintaining public trust and confidence in the system, the system has to display that it is free from any suggestion that there might be a lack of transparency. Therefore, I think that we're in a position where we agree that, theoretically, although there might not be a problem, that doesn't mean to say that additional transparency wouldn't help to prevent that from being a problem emerging in the future. Lobbying, I think, is one of the most contested definitions of any concept in political science. Rarely get two scholars that are going to agree with what is meant by it or what's meant by the term lobby group. Now, generally, I think an accepted definition would be to the effect of a lobby group as an individual or an organisation which would have shared or vested specific interests that tries to seek to influence political decisions. That's a very important distinction to make between influencing and seeking to influence. A lobbyist isn't necessarily successful, but they seek to influence.
