lobbying

 
     
  Applying pressure on those with legislative or executive authority to obtain a decision favourable to one\'s cause. Deriving from the habit of those petitioners who sought to catch British legislators outside the chamber of the House of Commons, that is to say in the lobby, lobbying is usually a major preoccupation of diplomatic missions.
