In terms of interest groups achieving their goals and actually getting policy created upon their interests a democratic corporatist system yields the best results. The consolidation of interest groups puts more power in the peak interest groups that embody each sector of society. In pluralist systems too many similar interest groups are competing for similar results and nothing gets done because interest groups are too small and do not carry enough power. In the corporatist system though, peak interest groups carry enough power and are able to effectively communicate the interests of the group to make an impact on government.
In terms of government control over interest articulation the controlled system is clearly the best. This is the case because in a controlled system interest groups exist to facilitate government policy whereas in pluralist and corporatist systems, interest groups are often petitioning against the government for legislature in the interests of its members.
