Hmm. Not sure Kevin. Lobbying is ubiquitous in business no matter what political persuasion. If we have to play the game in order to improve our working conditions, pay and the protection of archaeology, then its worth it. Everyone else is doing it and we can't afford to leave ourselves behind.
Ok here's a hypothetical. There is an archaeologist in Bradford who is also a local councillor for the British National Party. If he were to ever be elected as an MP, would you feel happy to lobby him because of his interest in archaeology and at the same time ignore his views on other issues.
