I don't think forbidding special interest groups etc. is THE solution. The real problem is deeper, and who wants to take influence would still find ways to do so.
I strongly believe in game theory - people are generally selfish and egoistic, so always consider this in setting up the rules of the system. If you want politicians to really act in the best intents for your country, set up the rules so that it's ensured in the politician's own interest.
