Every pressure group will claim victory when something goes their way, whether their attempts at influence were effective or not. Gotta give their supporters and donors a feeling that their time/money is well spent.

Maybe Hobson's Pledge is being listened to by the government but I wouldn't take their word for it.

Yeah, hobson's pledge is so toxic I doubt even National will take them too seriously. I very much doubt they had any real effect on this change.
