For section A, part B: Do we need to do the other side of the argument? or stick to one argument without any counterpoints? thanks

There are no evaluation marks for part b and so you only have to make 3 points that directly answer the question.

I want to so badly revise just two topics but that damn risk of having them both come up in the same section


its unlikely they won't

i had a revision session with my teacher who is an examiner and he said they don't come up on the same section. Edexcel won't suddenly break a 8 year convention lol

its never happened before but revise 3 anyway
Is the unit 2 in AM or PM?!

was there a reason as to why they dont ever come up in the same section?

i think because they are similar in content?

If you realise they are much 'heavier' topics and PM and judiciary are 'lighter', so they are kept apart...thats what my teacher said anyway.

Did people talk about other parties in 4c such as UKIP and SNP? And for the 25 marker on elections make a case for, can u structure it by having 3 big paragraphs on why change is needed and evaluation paragraphs instead. I didn't go into too much detail on PR as part b of that question was all about it so I doubt they would want u to repeat what u wrote on b.


I did party policy also, and I talked about UKIP & EU but not SNP, the SNP went against all of my arguments haha
What would be an example for the 10 downing street model when arguing if the PM is a president or not?

PM
This is what I have on PM being presidential. Not my work but I hope it helps!
for anyone who answered democracy question 2c in june 2009 was practically the same question. Here's the MS http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/A%20Level/Government%20and%20Politics/2013/Exam%20materials/MS_6GP01_0906_V2.pdf

Yes talk about the PM's staff of advisers and civil servants to coordinate policy. Remember one of the key points in arguing for presidentialism is that the PM makes decisions and coordinates policy without consultation of his cabinet. So in addition to the downing street office you can also talk about cabinet committees such as the Quad and 'sofa-politics' with Tony Blair.

Guys for constitution changes since 1997 we only need to know 3 isn't it since its normally 3 points for and 3 against right?
so 3 and 3=6

PM and Cabinet as there are loads of good examples to use especially with the newly appointed ministers and previous Coalition
