Pressure Groups - CND Flashcards
CND point
The campaign for nuclear disarmament (CND) are an outsider pressure group
CND explanation
Legal and organised protests. Wants to rid the world of nuclear weapons to create security for other generations. Protest in small cities near nuclear bases. They are backed by Nicola Sturgeon.
CND example
As is January 2021 the UK CNS have been successful in bringing into force the probation of nuclear weapons.
CND analysis
Their methods are somewhat effective
CND rebuttal point
Have been around for 50-60 years and have been highly unsuccessful overall
CND rebuttal explanation
They have not implemented their cause well and are no further forward. Despite using high profile individuals they fail to impact the government.
CND rebuttal example
Despite numerous protests Scotland’s ‘Trident’ is still renewed every year and has been since 1990.

Pressure groups that use less extreme methods seem to be less effective in comparison to pressure groups such as XR. The CND still failed to move forward.
