Populism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

Populism is strongly against the influence of special interests in politics, and banning all forms of lobbying would be a significant step towards reducing that influence. This would be in line with populist goals of promoting government accountability and ensuring that politicians prioritize the needs of the people over those of special interest groups.

Strongly agree

Yes

Populism generally supports measures that reduce the influence of special interests and promote government accountability. A 5-year ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists would help to limit the 'revolving door' between government and lobbying firms, which populists argue can lead to corruption and undue influence. However, populism is a diverse ideology, and some populists might prefer even stronger measures.

Agree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

A lifetime ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists would be a strong measure to prevent the 'revolving door' between government and lobbying firms. While some populists might support this idea, others might argue that it is too extreme and could limit the career opportunities of former government officials. Therefore, the score is positive but not as high as for some other options.

Disagree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

While the current two-year ban is a step in the right direction, populists would likely argue that it is not enough to prevent the influence of special interests and the 'revolving door' between government and lobbying. They would likely push for a longer ban to further limit the potential for corruption and undue influence.

Strongly disagree

No

Populists generally oppose policies that allow for the easy transition between government and lobbying positions, as they believe this can lead to corruption and the prioritization of special interests over the needs of the people. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the idea of not having a 5-year ban on officials becoming lobbyists.
