What forces impede good decision making in lobbying?

 

A useful list of forces that impede good decision-making from Farnham Street.  They seem equally applicable to lobbying and campaigning.

What others would you add? Here are some more from my side:

 

Lateness

Political blindness

Denial of political reality – the votes are not saying what we want them to say

Stasis

$

$ will make this go away

A PR focus

Lack of relationship with political decision-makers and influencers

Lack of a solution

Lack of trust
