Question
INTEREST  GROUPS  OR  NGOs HAVE  BECOME  SO  POWERFUL THAT  THEY  HAVE  STALEMATED  THE POLITICAL  PROCESS. Agree or disagree?

Answer
Disagree. There have been interest groups for as long as their has been a government.

Their success and power does not stalemate the process, rather it corrupts the process. The trillion dollar stimulus bill just passed by Congress was, in large part, pay-offs to special interest groups.
