3. These groups wield power without responsibility. Political parties have to face the people in elections, but these groups are not accountable to the people.
4. Pressure groups and movements may not get their funds and support from the people. Sometimes, pressure groups with small public support, but lots of money can hijack public discussion in favour of their narrow agenda.
