I believe that interest groups’ intent is beneficial at times, but more than often, interest groups are a negative factor in politics. Interest groups allow for every member within to have a voice and be heard. When a group of people with a common interest join together to achieve a goal that will benefit everyone, the interest group is a good thing. When a group of people with a common interest join together to achieve a goal that does not benefit many people, I would say the interest group is not a good thing. The issue that I have is usually that the group with the most influence is the group with the most money, not the group with the people’s best interest. This brings up the phrase “money talks”.
