i wonder if constitution will be the 40 marker or parliament


Original post by mollyadtr
Do you know what it was last year?


Posted from TSR Mobile


Last 3 years has been sources question. I'd put my money on it being a 40 marker this year. Something about the need for a codified constitution/strengths of ours or post-2010 reform

Effectiveness of backbench MPs, limited effectiveness of Parliament or wholly elected HoL for topic 2

Topic 3: PM power I reckon or how important is cabinet

Yeah basically, how effectively it carries out its functions, although that question was recently so probably not but worth doing just in case

so you talk about scrutiny, legislation, selection & training of ministers etc...? i know it sounds stupid but I am almost in tears here LOL
The book that I rely on is just useless.

No literal any constitutional reforms like devolution, reform of the lords and commons, foi, echr, mintroduction of Supreme Court all that kinda stuff?

For real check out the parliament PowerPoint I send you, it's got all of that in it if you're worried about it, I guarantee if you look at it you'll make yourself feel better

I don't think you need to know who introduced them before Cameron, just post 2010 it's obvious who introduced them- coalition gov and now stand alone cameron

If the 40
Mark is on constitutional reforms or if they have been successes or failures.. Something along those lines?

oh so you talk about all the reforms made post 2010

so things like fixed term parliament ?
So much to cover in such little time :frown:

I dunno if I'll be able to do well in this exam. The only topic which I at least have an idea of answering is PMs & Cabinet. The rest is confusing!

Yeah if it specifically says post 2010 reforms otherwise you can mention any reforms...look at the pictures I attached above from the politics review, it's got the evasion of post 2010 constitutional reforms
