In Support of "Single-Issue" Politics
Sylvia Tesh questions the widely held view that single-issue political groups threaten democracy. Distinguishing issue groups from interest groups, Tesh contends that issue groups are concerned with multiple, not single issues; that they are seldom uncompromising; and that rather than ignoring the common good, single-issue groups foster a more democratic means of determining it.
