Explain how the activities of pressure groups are useful in the functioning of

a democratic government?

The activities of pressure groups are useful in the functioning of a democratic government in the following ways:

1. The pressure groups and movements have deepened the democracy.
2. Public Interest groups and movements perform a useful role of reminding the needs and concerns of the ordinary citizens.
3. Where different groups function actively, no single group can achieve dominance over the society.
4. If one groups brings pressure on the government to make policies in its favour, another group will bring counter pressure not to make policies in the way first group desires.
5. This leads to balance of power and accommodation of conflicting interests.
