Im doing participation + voting behavior and electoral systems. resitting cos i somehow got a c in unit 1 and an a in unit 2 last year, i must have massively cocked up the 25 markers
ive attached the general topic of each question from past papers from 2010-17, but only for participation and electoral systems as thats what im revising. i expect the 25 marker to be about measuring participation in the UK, and electoral systems will almost certainly be about comparing and reviewing electoral systems, if it follows the same pattern it has for the last 8 exams. Also notice that in the past 2 exams, the 5 marker for electoral systems has been reused from 2012 and 2013 so id recommend doing the earlier past papers as well. i also wouldnt be surprised if we got a 10 marker like 'why did May call a snap general election in 2017' or something to do specifically with the last GE.
If you want the exact questions from the past papers theyre all here:

Not sure if theyd ask a question about the snap election cos they usually write exams over a year in advance. but i think it most definetely will be on electoral systems, cos last year it was on referenda. to rule out anything, I dont think the question will specifically mentions AMS in it cos that the was question focus in 2016

I'm resitting because I got a bit cocky last year, didn't revise much and got a B (when I DESPERATELY need an A overall). However, the fact that I'm remarkably chilled about this exam is kind of scaring me. Unit 3B for me is fine and 4B I can cross that bridge when I get there, but the confidence of having done Unit 1 well will hopefully motivate me more.
I've revised participation, electoral systems and pressure groups, and for pressure groups my teacher has suggested that the 25 marker may be on if pressure groups are good/bad for democracy, and that electoral systems 10 marker may be on the general election (so I guess talking about opinion polls + boomerang effect and to legitimise and give a stronger mandate to the government due to Brexit). I think we should also expect to have to examine the different electoral systems for the 25 marker as it tends to alternate between the systems and referendum.
Hope this helps!

The electoral systems 25 marker was a bummer
The electoral systems 25 marker was a bummer
Yes, because they have undermined trusteeship by preventing MPs from using their own judgement (referendums)
Yes, because other forms of direct democracy have undermined joined-up gov and the mandate+ allow pressute groups to bypass parliament (petitions)
No, because referendums have provided for the creation of new legislatures= gov closer to the people and trusteeship enshrined in the UK's constitutional strucutre.
No, because they have acted as a check on government, preventing gov from straying too far from the people; major constitutional change done by the government alone can be seen to be highly illegitimate.
