Which affect Government more, interest groups or political parties?

well…the title is my question. I’m researching for a debate I’m going to have soon and I’m on the side of the interest groups. I did a bit of research but most of it just tells me HOW interest groups can influence gov’t. [I.e. lobbying] personally, I see interest groups being more effective..but then I think about how pol. parties have more influence over the public [which is important to the gov’t] I am really stuck so please, someone help me out..or atleast give me a site link that can actually help me with vital info.

Answer #1

thats true…political parties are definitely dependent on interest groups for those all important votes..and so, they influence the public to do what those interest groups want..which in return, gets the political parties votes, and interest groups more membership and more openings…but so then…which is more effective…?

Answer #2

Well, it’s kinda funny. It’s a 3 way circle with a break off at one point. The political parties have a great amount of influence over the people, and interest groups have a great amount of power over the parties. You would think that people would complete the chain, but let’s face it, any country that’s existed for more than 40 years is under control of a few hundred or thousand elite. It’s an inevitible thing in all socities, just as is collapse.
