You will consider the role of participation and elections in a democracy, as well as examine the changing role of the main political parties and the growing importance of pressure groups. You will also consider the significance and relationship of key political institutions in the UK such as Parliament, the Prime Minister, the Cabinet and the Constitution and the people who and politicians that occupy them.
