In what ways do pressure groups and movements exert influence on politics?
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.
Organizations that undertake activities to promote the interests of specific social sections such as workers, employees, teachers, and lawyers are called__________groups.
Explain how the activities of pressure groups are useful in the functioning of a democratic government.
