Sectional- represent a particular section of scoiety eg teachers. Aim to look after the intreast of the group or stop things happening to that particular group eg the Patients' Association objected to teh removal of a patent's right to see their medical records or the discontinuation of the requirment for GP's to provide an out-of-hours service. Also aim to gain benifits for their group eg maintaining a good pension scheme for postal workers. eg of sectional groups- The National Union for students or the British Medical association. If they gain to much influence they could harm public interest.
Cause/ Promotional - two main cause or promotional groups -
One set up to achive a single objective eg stopping the third runway at Heathrow
Secound set up to achive a broarder/ longer term objective eg to end child poverty. e.g. The Campaign for Nuclear disarmament, Greenpeace, Fathers4justice.
while some of these groups bring a wide range of benefits such as the NSPCC some would be said they were selfish and unaware of the wider issue eg Heathrow runway will aid the economy
