How can Pressure Groups Threaten Democracy (EX)

-Some Groups are Elitist and Concentrate Power in Hands of Few People. Eg Revloving Door uses Special Advisors to Ministers & getting Good Paid Jobs at Lobbying Firms, where they can Exploit contacts made while in Government -Groups may Distort Information and Limit Social/Technological Progress. Eg Stop 5G had been Concerned about Health and Environmental Effects 5G would have, but its Claims are Contested. -Groups may be not Democratic and so may Fail to Represent Views of Members and Supporters. Leaders of many PG are not Elected -Finance very key in Political Influence - so PGs unevenly Matched. 2020 saw Housing Minister Robert Jenrick accuse of Rushing an Approval of Development Project to Satisfy Tory Donor Richard Desmond
