fire brigade pressure group

fire brigade pressure group
   A pressure group that is formed to fight a specific issue. In a dramatic campaign, members seek to rally support quickly and get government ministers, Members of Parliament and the general public to take notice. The Snowdrop Campaign for the abolition of handguns in 1996–7 used this blitz approach. As with Snowdrop, the Anti-Poll Tax Federation was dissolved once its cause had proved triumphant.
