Think tanks are organisations set up to undertake research and to formulate policy which they hope will be adopted by those who have the power to make decisions. They are different from pressure groups because they aim to influence decisions made by a particular political party. They are interested in the whole political programme and are overtly ideological. However, think tanks do qualify as pressure groups as they do not stand for election.
They have several roles to play. They do things that politicians have no time to do. They come up with fresh ideas and produce relevant data and support material which will enable politicians to package policy ideas. Examples of think tanks include the Fabian Society (set up in 1884 to promote socialism), The Institute for Economic Affairs (which promotes free market economics), The Centre for Political Studies (set up to promote Thatcherism), The Adam Smith Institute (also pro-Thatcher), The Social Market Foundation and The European Policy Forum (to promote an anti-federalist Europe).
