In my view...
Most successful: CAMRA
Least ". It's a toss-up between CTC and Keep Britain Tidy.

I'd count UKIP as more of a pressure group than a serious political party so they'd be the most successful and the least successful must be one I've never heard of.

National Society for the Promotion of Cruelty to Children continues to go strength to strength

Royal Society for the Prevention of Birds, though - rubbish. I still see birds all over the place.

if they don't need to be UK based then the National Rifle Association must be up there with the most successful.

Back when I had more dealings with DEFRA some of the folks I knew there said the RSPB would lobby them constantly about countryside issues that had nothing to do birds or birds habitats.
They found that RSPB members would usually have strong opinions on the countryside and the RSPB had a fair bit of money so they would get involved
They were quietly one of the key players in the fox hunting ban I seem to remember being told

Yeah, the RSPB has turned itself into a Nature Society. Current magazines and info I get are definitely targeted away from Baby Robins to more Field Nature Environments..
