Government and Politics AL Yr 1

UPDATED 20161115 12:56:39

GOV1: People, Politics and Participation This involves looking at the ways in which people participate in politics: voting in elections, joining a political party or pressure group and protesting. Issues explored include: Does our electoral system work? Is there a better system? Why do people vote the way they do? Why are fewer people voting? What do the parties stand for? How have they changed over the years? Do grassroots members have any real power? How can pressure groups have influence? Is protest a legitimate political action in a democracy? GOV2: Governing Modern Britain This involves looking at how the UK Government is organised: the Constitution, Parliament, the Core Executive and Multi-level Governance. Issues explored include: Does the UK need a written constitution? Do our civil liberties need better protection? Who do MPs really represent? Should the House of Lords be abolished? Is the PM a dictator? Does the EU matter? Should local councils be given more powers? What are civil servants and do they control their ministers?
