AS Level Unit 1 will introduce you to the political process by considering the factors that influence how people vote and assessing the relative merits of different voting systems. You will also consider the characteristics and relevance of the different political parties and find out why some people choose to become involved with pressure groups. Unit 2 will focus on how modern Britain is actually governed and how politics affects our daily lives. This will include an analysis of the influence and power of the Westminster Parliament and the roles of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. At A2 the course will focus on American politics and this will involve a detailed analysis of the American electoral system, the role of money and the media in politics, and the powers of the President, Congress and The Supreme Court. Through the course you will develop your own political standing by considering different political perspectives and build your analytical and evaluative skills.
