democracy as long as every one gets
this opportunity because –
1. A democracy must look after the interest of all not just one section.
2. These groups help the people of a particular section to voice their interest
a demands.
3. Two pressure groups of different ideology helps in maintaining a balance
between the demands of various groups in the society.
4. Pressure groups and movements have deepened democracy in the world. Thus some
people may criticized the role of these groups as these groups promote the
interest of their sections and not accountable to the people in general.
