Me too theres just so much content for a single paper and essay plans are so much harder beacuse they can really ask about anything and its usually so specific (Like affirmative action vs minority participation)

Also because we've only learnt this stuff for a few months whereas the other papers have been 2 years. Plus theres literally more content in this paper than the others its such a hard paper, AND no source and you have to choose 2/3 questions its literally a race to the bottom

Does anyone have any examples of PMs using three-line whips to get legislation passed in Parliament? (I"m looking at a 12 marker question comparing legislative systems in US and UK)

2018 3-line party whip given to conservative MPs to vote for the expansion of Heathrow Airport (8 went against this such as MP Goldsmith who then resigned)

This is great thanks so much! Alan History Nerd made videos for the other two papers, so I'm holding out hope that he'll make one for paper 3. Originalism vs. Living constitution would be an amazing essay for me personally

How do you think they would phrase a question on this?

do you reckon they could ask a 12 mark question comparing electoral systems or would it be too tricky?

Maybe? But surely it would be focused on the 'westminster electoral system' rather than all the different electoral systems used in the UK, or that would be quite confusing

Also there was nothing on electoral systems in paper 1 was there? So i guess it could be possible?

Surely it would have to be the differences rather than similarities between devolution and federalism?

Seeing as they didn't include any questions of Supreme Court in Paper 2, do you think it is most likely to come up as a 12 marker, or specifically an analyse question?
