Question No. 33 (16 April)

Each weekday between now and May 1, I'll post a question about comparative government and politics.

You submit an answer to the "Questions" e-mail link at the What You Need to Know web site. (FYI: the e-mail address there changed recently.)

If you submit the earliest best answer, I'll publish your answer here a week after the question was posted.

And you'll win a pair of What You Need to Know number two pencils to help you fill in the exam's multiple choice answer sheet. One of the pencils will have all the multiple choice answers on it and the other will display King Arthur's memorable line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "You don't vote for kings!"

(You can also win a pair of WYNTK pencils by posing a question that gets used here.)




Here's Question No. 33:

Interest groups attempt to influence government policy making.

Where, in the political system do British interest groups (like British Hydro) concentrate their efforts? Why?

Where, in the political system do Mexican interest groups concentrate their efforts? Why?
