Our politicians are totally occupied by lobbyists. No time to listen to voters.
It's not their job, by the way.

Lobbyists offer structured information and provide eloquent arguments to support their point of view. They offer to write the necessary laws and maybe even a future after the parliamentary term.
Voters are bad organized, they don't pay the dinner and a majority talks all in a tumble about personal experiences and problems with their neighbours.
