One of the key concepts in the Pressure Groups section of the course is ‘countervailing’ groups. i.e pressure groups that act against each other. The classic examples are the CBI vs the TUC, though I’m not personally sure how relevant the TUC is now. The link below has a good example, the BMA calling for a smoking ban in cars vs the pro choice smoking group FOREST.
