Popular Struggles and Movements

Question:

In what ways do pressure groups and movements exert influence on politics?

Answer:

Like an interest group, a movement group also attempts to influence politics rather than directly take part in electoral competition. But unlike the interest groups, movements have a loose organisation. Their decision making is more informal and flexible.They depend much more on spontaneous mass participation than an interest group.
