Which of the following is a limitation of pressure groups?

  1. They often resort to violent tactics
  2. They only represent the interests of the wealthy.
  3. They have no influence on the government policies
  4. They may prioritize their own interests over the public interest. ✓

Explanation

Pressure groups can sometimes focus too much on their members’ needs and forget what’s best for everyone. This is their main weakness.

Most pressure groups don’t use violence or only represent the rich. They do influence government, so that’s not a limitation.

A good democracy needs pressure groups to balance their interests with the common good.
