Movement groups

Pressure groups are organizations that attempt to influence the government policies.

Movement groups also attempt to influence politics rather than directly take part in electoral competition.

They have loose organizations.

Their decision making is more informal and flexible.

They depend much more on spontaneous mass participation.
