Pressure groups are also known as interest groups, which is a structural grouping that seeks to influence government policy or government actions. They differ from a political party because they do not seek to win government but to influence those who win government. They are usually more narrow than a political party and generally single issue politics. The first pressure abolition society 1787 to appose slave trade.

In other words, a pressure group is an organization that tries to advance specific causes, issues, or interests.
