If a certain 25 Mark Question had the wording along the lines of 'Make out a case against the adoption of a codified constitution' such as in June 2010, Would you simply only deploy negatives of a codified constitution? With no balance on the other side?

Indeed, if you talked about the other side they'd see it as wrong and give you no marks because that's not the question- harsh I know

One of the 40 mark revision questions in the book is "assess the current status and role of the cabinet" which seems extremely harsh!

That is for sure an option as someone said presidential came up last year, that question scares me! It just depends if they're gonna be that harsh, I'm hoping its power

I don't mind so long as you can talk about all the factors which determine presidentialism or power. To be honest, I think that's the only thing I understand in this whole Unit :laugh:

You're not alone. I hate it so much. I feel like it's going to destroy any decent grade I got in Unit 1 :angry:

that qs is okay... you talk about how he dominates the political system via SPADS, doesn't consult with his cabinet, the media make him look like a president

I agree, it's definitely not influencing his position in a positive way...with the conservatives it's undoubtably that there will eventually be a civil war however will the media promote it to the extent as the apparent labour civil war? Probably not

I also can't wait to see what happens to ukip after the Eu result - will they grow like the snp or fade to a slow death?

Posted from TSR Mobile

Oh I do hope it's the fade to a slow death.
