Are you confident for these exams this week ? you always seem to know a lot. Honestly ive only properly revised this half term(Original post by mollyadtr)
Do you reckon the impact of pr is practically like asking about the outcomes of the systems just without mentioning the majoritarian systems?

To an extent. You would talk about it in general then give a system as an example whereas outcomes would be the system outcomes as the point not the example

If there is to what extent is there a participation crisis is the 25 marker...what points do you make?
Political party membership fallings
Election turnout falling since '97
I can't think of a third
Pressure groups have eclipsed parties
Corbyn becoming in charge meant 200k new members joined
Elections have been going up recently - 2015 was highest since 97 -

I feel like unit 2 will be a mess. now that ive gone over unit 1 this weekend i think i can do well. In my opinion politics isnt a subject people can just revise (Theres several people who arent that smart in my sixth form but revise loads and do very well) you have to have not just a good knowledge but also a practical mind. One of the things that annoys me is for instance someone in our class at the start of the year didnt know what labour was. some people dont know some really basic flags etc etc. Thats what im good at, having prehand knowledge rather than revising which i dont do a lot
Unit 2 might not not be as bad as you think! Remember there's 3 days to revise for that one

Yeah I agree it is useful having the previous knowledge, I probably wouldn't enjoy it much if my family knew a lot about politics and are involved unlike some people who don't vote, you're right there's not really a way to revise it you've just gotta keep up to date with what's happening and read the papers (which I don't do but whatever😂)

nah but its just sort of condescending to criticse others for not knowing what the labour party is without learning it, then talking about not doing revision yourself -

You dont need to LEARN what the Labour party is ? You dont revise knowing that labour is a party
no u said u were annoyed at people not knowing what labour is when starting the course.. the whole point of the course is to teach people what it is, so its just hypocritical what ur saying m8 -

I did
There is a crisis:
- Low turnouts, even in referendums such as 2011s AV
- Low party membership, I expanded this by saying that it can be attributed to a very widespread trend of a decrease of public trust in politicians in general, and a lack of identification with party politics causes people to become apathetic in politics
There is not a crisis:
- 2001 had a 59% turnout, but the 2015 and 2011 elections had around a 65% turnout, showing a positive trend. Scots referendum had 84% turnout or something. Turnout does not directly affect participation since there are many ways of participating, pressure groups etc
- A lack of interest in mainstream parties mean that pressure group membership increases. Also is good for smaller parties, Ukip had 3.8 mil votes from voters frustrated about immigration
Conclusion:
- There is not a crisis. It is more the case of an electorate becoming dissatisfied with mainstream politics, and choosing to participate through means such as pressure groups instead.
- Also made mention of methods of potential reform. E.g mandatory voting, 16-17 y/o voting. Etc. (unsure if this should be a separate, non conclusion paragraph??) -
