A political system that is dominated by a powerful, accomplished group of highly influential people who use their money and position to deeply influence and control government policy can be called a lobby.

Explanation:

Lobbyists are basically the people who are rich and support certain political parties financially for them to win the elections and get the mandate. Once these parties get the mandate, the lobbyists expect the party leaders to make decisions that would favor them and their institutions. Though lobbying is deemed illegal, there is no solid mechanism existent that would restrict lobbying completely.
