Edexcel 6GP01 Government and Politics Unit 1 Exam 20/05/2014

Does anyone know if learning two of the topics is a safe move?
I only know Parliament and Constitution, that was only what my school covered, but do these two definitely always come up in both sections, A and B.
Will be able to attempt both questions??

I think you have to revise 3 Topics on the unit 2 paper. Don't gamble, the biggest topic is the Constitution and the others like PM and Parliament Aren't that big. Theres still Hope (people in general) to get a A in this paper. However Do skim read over Judiciary - As there are important bits like the HR act/Power Of the Judges that you can incorporate to your answers on the other topics. (In general How did people find Unit 1, and what topics did you choose? I did Democracy & Pressure Groups) Good Luck!

I've got every single past question for each topic but not a mark scheme, if you're interested?

For the Parliament topic, it says "knowledge and understanding of the different relationships between legislatures and executives in parliamentary and presidential systems of government"

I'm so stuck on the presidential bit - I've done nothing on that? :s-smilie:

Anyone think the 40 marker is 'assess the argument for codifying the UK constitution.'

does the executive have an influence in the House of Lords, or are they completely independent?

My revision material is hand written unfortunately! What do you need help on though - I could either help you or send you a photo of my notes on it.

Has the coalition increased or decreased cabinet power? What could you say for that?

Hm you could say that scrutiny will increase, however the role of scrutiny in a coalition does bring about unnecessary blocks eg- clegg blocked efforts for reform on human rights, going further with welfare cuts and blocked the introduction of it counter terror measures... Seems to be more blockages than implementing his own ideologies?

In addition, it makes cabinet less ideologically united, which makes the cabinet a lot weaker, especially to the public and media.

David Cameron said something along the lines of "sometimes you have to make compromises that are not necessarily in the long-term interests of the country".. Which kind of answers your question!

I think I'm going to have to just learn 3... I've done The Constitution and im going to do PM & Cabinet but I dont know whether to do judiciary or parliament????? Which one has less to cover and is more achievable to learn in about 2 days lol....

Cramming is going to be so intense.

Also does anyone have any revision techniques that will prove to be useful...
