Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  SilenceOnTou (X): Les dictionnaires français (Larousse, Robert, Académie française, Grand dictionnaire terminologique) définissent un "lobby" comme un "groupe de pression". La définition supplémentaire en anglais (hall, salle d'attente) ne s'applique pas en français.
1 hr
disagree  Daryo: SilenceOnTourne has got a valid point
12 hrs
neutral  Tony M: Non déplaise aux 'experts', it IS widely used in FR — but in a highly context dependent way that could also mak it completely wrong!

agree  Daryo
14 hrs
