Political pressure refers to the influence exerted by individuals, groups, or organizations on government officials and institutions to achieve specific outcomes. This pressure can come from various sources, including lobbyists, political parties, and interest groups, who seek to sway decisions on legislation, policy, or funding. Such pressure can manifest in different forms, such as public campaigns, media coverage, or direct communication with lawmakers. It plays a significant role in shaping public policy and can impact the priorities of elected officials, often reflecting the interests of those with the most resources or public support.
