The Role of Pressure Groups in Britain

General Elections in Britain are usually heldonly once every five years. Governments can seem to beremote from the people they represent. The process ofprotesting about. government actions is very slow, even though everyone is permitted direct contact to their member of Parliament.（46）

Pressure groups will seek to influence thosewho have political power, such as members of Parliament.（47） If members of a pressure group feel thatthere is public support from outside their group for their demands, they willtell members of Parliament about this.

Pressure groups will thus seek to get supportfrom the public. A powerful way of doing this is by making use of the massmedia. （48） Meanwhile, thegroup will have to be sure of its facts, and fact-finding is thus an importantpart of its work. Up-to-date information can be made known to members ofParliament and to the general public.

Pressure groups will not only seek to maketheir causes known to government, but also try to inform and influence thepublic. （49）

Pressure groups may support political parties,but will lay stress only on some of their policies. For instance, the MondayClub will support the more right-wing policies of the Conservative Party. （50）

A A good example ofthis sort of activity is provided by the educational work of"Shelter", which fights for better housing for poor people.

B They will want totell them what policy their interest demands.

C For all these reasonsthere is something of a vacuum between government and the governed, whichpressure groups help to fill.

D There can also bepublic meetings, demonstrations, etc.

E Governments alwaysstay close to the people.

F However, a pressuregroup is not a political party, because it does not seek complete or continuouspolitical power.
