In studying Government and Politics, we ask many questions about Britain and the world. Has the coalition government been a success or failure so far? How much have the Liberal Democrats be able to influence government policy? Just how much power does the Prime Minister have, or are you worried that European laws designed in Brussels may override those passed by our Parliament at Westminster? Is the rise of UKIP significant or do you think they are just a fringe party that will never affect anything? Will the conflict in Syria ever settle down? How important is the environment in Politics now and how can we adjust to a more multi-cultural country? Collyer’s Politics classes have lively debates and discussions about a huge range of issues that are important, both for your own intellectual development and for understanding the way our country and others are run. The first year of the course focuses on the British system of government – how democracy works in our country. We move on to look in the second year at political ideologies and philosophies from conservatism to communism and feminism to nationalism from all over the world. After taking politics at Collyer’s you’ll know how politics really works, what the political parties are really about, and the reality behind the headlines. You’ll have explored the activities of charismatic individuals such as David Cameron, Barack Obama, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Germaine Greer, Karl Marx and even Scar out of The Lion King. As well as the main ideologies of conservatism, liberalism and socialism you’ll understand why Marxism dominated half the world in the twentieth century, but seems to have few believers in the twenty-first.
