How do you say this

AMS is proportional representation method or uses proportional representation? I'm baffed

Release that please.

Does anyone have any recent examples for pressure group protests, like anything after the 2010 student protests?

BMA junior doctors

It might help me too so I don't mind giving it a go! Got a link? I'm doing pressure groups, parties and democracy and participation

in general heres all the powerpoints i spent the last week doing. i may as well offer them out to everyone it might not include every little thing but in my opinion it has the majority of stuff covered in each unit

How would you answer:
How has the use of AMS affected party representation in the UK? (10 Marks) These questions really throw me

Bloody hell you've been a powerhouse with these notes over the past couple of days, cheers for this.

You are an absolute star. Thank you so much!!!

If they are right I honestly might cry. Pressure groups and democracy would be such nice questions and honestly would not go near Political Parties

Tories are doing better in the devolved authorities when they wouldn't normally -> this years Scottish elections
More representation for the smaller parties who don't usually do as well
Worsened Labour's hold over Scotland/Wales?

...quite hard

so i'd note things like

AMS is a hybrid system which produces a multi-party system due to the fact the regional voting part makes the system more roughly proportional to votes. Due to the differential topup, smaller parties which may be disadvantaged by FPTP part and the Winner's Bonus, are advantaged and vice versa. For example, in the 2016 local scottish elections, the Tories who are usually unpopular in Scotland won 31 seats all together, from a differential top up of 21 seats from their 7 constituency seats. Likewise, due to the fact SNP won 63 seats, missing out on a majority due to their successes in the constituency part, so only got a differential top up of 4 regional seats.
