There is lots of evidence to suggest that larger, more resourced, and more privileged groups have a better chance of influencing the government
Larger, more resourced, and more privileged groups

They often have more cash and funding, opening the opportunity to employ professional lobbyists as well as other means to back up their cause
The confederation of British industry (CBI)
Represents over 200,000 businesses within the UK
Often consulted on issues regarding minimum wage and corporation tax
Successful in campaigning for lower corporation tax, helping to lower it from 30% in 2007 to just 19% nowadays
The power behind these groups lies in cash and numbers but also the influence/ fear tactics these groups are able to use on the government
If the government were not to listen to CBI
The power this group holds could be used to deter businesses from the UK
Certain groups can 'buy' their way into being listened to by the government, which many feel to be undemocratic
Having more people involved in the cause can also pressure the government to listen as this could make them potentially gain or lose votes due to how many people are involved
Bigger, well-resourced groups can easily influence big time changes eg lowering corporation tax
