There are many influences on the government that pressure or seek to influence the political parties, such as, Interest groups. These groups are Institutionalized pressure groups, which was well established and formal societies which influence the Politicians in their decisions. Eg. Canadian Cancer Society, MADD. There are also issue-orientated groups which are less permanent and but still influential. People form these groups in order to accomplish the limitied aims they feel are not being met by the Government and once the aim is met they disband.
