In France you don't have lobbies, corporations can't fund campaigns or special interests, and every politician in a political race gets equal airtime/billboard space/exposure in general. That's the law, and in general I think it's applied pretty well.

So it can work, and corporate competition isn't thrown out the window. I'm not saying it's a better system, but I think it's wrong that you can have a louder voice when you have a bigger wallet.
Sorry if this was slightly off topic.

On the issue of corporate personhood, I don't think it should be that way.
