The reason for which the government should take a key interest in the activities of pressure groups is that, they
-
provide valuable feedback on government policies and programmes
- force coalition among political parties for election
- blackmail political leaders
- dictate the path and direction for government programmes
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
Pressure groups provide valuable feedback on government policies and programmes. They represent specific interests and try to influence public policy in their favour. By doing so, they provide a form of checks and balances on the government, ensuring that a wide range of interests are considered in policy-making. The other options do not accurately describe the role of pressure groups.
