Influencing government? Deals stating to government leaders that if we use their companies to put these ideas into practice, they will fund the party? Yeah, probably. But isn't this always the case with huge corporations influencing government policy? Why would we just fight this one? Quangos and think tanks are all over the place, and have been throughout most of our voting lifetimes, and very rarely promoting left wing ideas! So is it just that this is a broadly leftist agenda on climate change and social inclusion? Why pick on this out of the many think tanks out there? We're you active when oil companies were lobbying conservatives? Or tobacco companies?
What i see is big company leaders with an agenda that they feel can help solve some world issues whilst at the same time (of course) promoting their company and increasing their profits. Are they genuine with their social good intent? I've no idea, but unless shown evidence to the contrary I can only assume they may be. Or may not. I've no idea,as no evidence is presented that they may not. Just for some reason, rightous and almost fanatical indignation against the same think tank processes that we've always operated under in our lifetimes.
