Influencing Legislators or Other Policy Makers. In order to achieve a legislative advocacy goal, advocates must influence legislators or members of parliament, government officials and other policy makers. Advocates should also reach out to their constituents and allies to ask them to influence policy and decision-makers.
Kingdon does admit, however, that the media may have an indirect influence on the policy agenda. To the extent that public opinion affects policy makers, media can have a part in shaping the policy agenda by influencing public opinion. But then - the electorate is not considered to be all that influential either.
