Jersey Pressure Groups

Jersey, as a polity predominated by independents has always had a number of local pressure groups.

Many ad-hoc lobby groups form in response to a single issue and then dissolve once the concerns have been dealt with.

However there are a number of pressure groups actively working to influence government decisions on a number of issues.

Famous quotes containing the words pressure groups, jersey, pressure and/or groups:

    I am convinced that our American society will become more and more vulgarized and that it will be fragmentized into contending economic, racial and religious pressure groups lacking in unity and common will, unless we can arrest the disintegration of the family and of community solidarity.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    New Jersey gives us glue.
    Howard Dietz (1896–1983)

    Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
