Question

explain the power sharing arrANGEMENTS among the political parties and pressure groups?

Answer 1

Political parties and pressure groups have a delicate power sharing arrangement. Pressure groups have the power to raise issues they feel are important. Political parties have the power to resolve those issues by raising them in legislatures and by using executive authority. Thus, pressure groups are dependent upon political parties to address issue they raise. On the other hand, political parties are also dependent upon pressure groups to attract the attention of voters.
