The Westminster Forum says that 'Founded in 1976, we are an independent, non-partisan and not-for-profit organisation.' It claims that 'We are not lobbyists', yet most of its directors are actually professional lobbyists.[1] (The forum should not be confused with the separate lobbying venture Westminster Forum Projects)
