Answer 2

Answer:

The pressure groups are extensions of political parties among different sections of society.

Explanation:

Pressure groups: A group of people who are organised for defending and promoting their common interest.

• It attempts to bring a change in public policy by exerting pressure on the government.
• It is a liaison between the government and its members.
• Pressure groups are also called interest groups or vested groups.
• They differ from the political parties.
• They neither take part in elections nor try to capture political power.
• They are confined to the promotion and protection of the interests of their members by influencing the government.
• They influence the policy-making and implementation of them in the government through legitimate and legal methods by publicity, public debating, lobbying, petitioning, and correspondence.

Hence, the pressure parties are the extensions of political parties.
