Revolving Door is the term used to describe the working of government where, after leaving their positions within the government, civil servants, MPs or ministers take up jobs as lobbyists or consultants in the area of their former public service. It is a two-way system which also allows former private sector employees to accept positions in the government where they have the power to regulate the sector they had formerly been affiliated with.
The phenomenon of the revolving door is an indication of the problem of corporate power and one of the key indicators of lobbyists' power over government.
