Pluralists believe that groups are an entirely natural and healthy feature of political life. They believe groups benefit politics in these ways
- Their concerns reflect those of ordinary people who were entitled to air their views
- They provide informed views and specialist expertise to government
- They allow minority voices to be clearly advanced, helping to acheive a necassary balance in a democracy between majority and minority rights.
- They cater for a heterogeneos population
- They prevent any single group from excersizing disproportionate influence due to the oppertunity for the existance of countervailing groups.
