The starting point of the study of A Level Politics is you. The common assumption is that the United Kingdom is a democracy. The first unit examines the extent to which this is true. Politicians have a huge power over us but how much power do we have over politicians? People have power mainly through elections in which they vote for their favoured party and/or set of policies. Alternatively people can join pressure groups in an attempt to influence government policy, perhaps by demonstrating or even taking direct action. You will start to understand how such processes work and then start to judge for yourself whether or not the UK is sufficiently democratic.
