Some pressure groups may not have huge public support but may have sufficient funds. The government can succumb to the pressure created by a group of rich and powerful people. This can result in diversion of public discussions into their narrow agenda. The business groups may sponsor, advertise the movements, or employ professional lobbyists for influence.
