Paragraph text
Businesses' relationship with the government in many States can be described as "cosy" and is often characterized by privileged access and treatment. It is not uncommon for politicians to be former businesspeople and vice versa or to have close, even family, ties to the business sector. Even those without extensive personal experience in commerce undoubtedly rely to some extent on the support of the business community.
