What do people think is coming in US politics Paper 2?

Personally, Paper 1 was really good, except for those 9 markers... oh gosh. I made up some fake pressure group called the British Health Institute instead of saying British Medical Association... Hate my life

I though paper 1 was quite nice, the extract and the 25 markers were not too bad, and of the 3 nine markers i though the pressure groups and minor parties ones were quite good. The 9 marker on the cabinet and PM though, that question was absolutely horrible and i hated it.
No idea what may come up on US paper though so I'm just gonna have to run through everything before thursday.

I thought the cabinet and PM one was quite good, just talk about resigning (Dominic Raab) , leaks (Gavin Williamson) and open dissent (BoJo)
I found the minor parties 9 marker harder

Its the first year of the new spec so its impossible to tell but because of that I think they will follow the trend of easier questions and for the comparative essay I think it will probably be either comparing the PM and President, Parliament and Congress or maybe the Constitutions

Yeah, looking back on it there was stuff I could have talked about but i think I may have scraped 2 or 3 marks in it with what I did. And contrary to you I thought the minor parties stuff was fairly nice, i talked about them trying to bring about major constitutional change (Lim Dems/electoral reform, SNP/Scottish independence), Bringing more fringe topics forward (Greens/environment, UKIP/EU membership (before 2016)), and holding government to account and to their desires (DUP/brexit deal, Lib Dems/AV referendum).
I mentioned constitutional change (AV referendum) and single topics (EU referendum) but I was stumped for a third one
