Parliamentary and European Union Relations

Abstract: Abstract Success in government affairs — commonly called lobbying — has four principal ingredients: good advance intelligence; skilful timing; a mature, realistic presentation of one’s case; and finally sustained pressure, the ability to fight it all through. One could well argue that these qualities lie behind every successful business activity. It is therefore remarkable how frequently such a commonsense approach is neglected by those who, whatever their personal feelings, simply cannot afford to ignore politicians and the political world in which we live.
