I have emailed them to you

Nope you are not the only one!i have only revised democracy and the parties i am going to briefly go over pressure groups in the morning.

I'm sure you'll be alright, at the end of the day those are the 2 topics in my mind they're least likely to throw in a random question.

Personally i'm quite confident with electoral systems i'm just worried they may ask about referendums for the democracy question which is a bit tough for me and I reckon they may ask it purely because of the Scottish independence 2014 referendum + the potentially upcoming EU referendum. Hopefully not though

ACCOUNTABILITY-
----Is liberal, as parliament forces government to be accountable requiring ministers to explain and justify actions, recent example would be Malcolm rifkind.
You can also refer to PMQ, committee stages scrutinise legislation, pressure groups etc.
---- isn't as parliament doesn't have enough time to undertake this task effectively, departmental business is becoming increasingly more complex, and doesn't have expertise to make govt accountable. Could also refer to inquiries how they are slow, eg Iraq report findings?

FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS
---- they are free from corruption, one person one vote, (ballot act) the independent electoral commission oversees elections to ensure they are honestly conducted.
Refer to North Korea, how it's corrupt, as we'll refer to Scottish referendum how it was conducted free and fair, contrary to Syria referendum on intro of new constitution.

----- voting fraud, Darlington City, how the ukip member was not on. 89 ballot papers, the voting system isn't an actual representation of what the British people want.

RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES
---- human rights act of. 2000 incorporates ECHR, INTO British law, therefore protects people's rights, including minority sections of society. Excerpted through the rule of law, Christ huhne, sentenced to. 8 months in jail after got wife to take points on her licence.

----- British parliament is sovereign so retains control over rights and freedoms can set these aside, in the interst of law and order or national security ,abu qatada case. Prisoners right to vote?



hope this helps!
