Hello! I don't know what I should study. I don't know whether I should study Franco-British Law, or Politics. French law with British law could be very interesting I think, but politics sounds very exciting as well, and maybe it could be a bit less boring than law. I don't want you to choose for me of course, but it's very hard to make a decision, so what would you choose?

Politics.
I'm doing an LLB at a good university and I think a more 'academic' degree will be more engaging and interesting than Law.

You could always do a conversion if you change your mind - I think Politics to Law might be easier but not too sure

The one you're most interested in - simple as that.
I did a politics degree, which I enjoyed, and I've gone into a good job since. I'm happy to answer general questions about doing a politics degree.
Don't forget that if you decided you wanted to go into law later on, then you could do a GDL conversion course after a politics degree, so it's not necessarily an irreversible decision. It's also worth remembering that the vast majority of law graduates (especially those from less good unis) will not end up working as solicitors or barristers.
You could also look at combined degrees - law with politics is not an unusual combination. But, if you choose this route and think you might want to practice law later then choose an LLB as it will avoid the relative faff and expense of a GDL.

I would choose politics as it seems a lot more interesting and there are so many little niches to specialise in if that what you want, Law on the other hand seems quite demanding and hard and grade boundaries are usually higher for law courses and a lot more competitive, and it seems more boring too lol.

I read law at uni and am now a trainee solicitor, so happy to answer any questions. If you pick law make sure it's an LLB, not a BA, since otherwise it won't be a "qyalifying law degree" and you'll have to do the GDL to become a lawyer.

Nor sure what you mean by "what type of job", ridwan, but my firm mainly does property and family, tax etc ("private client"). I'm in property at the moment, first year trainee.

I study Law so believe me when I say, take Politics and run as far away from Law as possible.
