Edexcel A-level Government &amp; Politics 6GP03 3rd/6th/13th June 2019 [Exam Discussion]

Is there a minimal amount of paragraphs i should do? There are a few topics such as multi party systems where I’m forced to do 2 for, 2 against, an introduction and a conclusion, I know I certainly wouldn’t be awarded an A or above, but would I assume to get a C at least?

Do you think we're going to get asked a question specifically on party funding??

Could do, I have the points:

It would tackle the elitist practice of political party - pressure group and individual donor transactional politics plaguing and corrupting the U.K. political system as a select few wealthy donors have their interest dominate the public interest

It would tackle the disparities of political inequality of a system of equal financial bearing was given which undermines the principles of free and fair elections with major parties have an innate and unfair advantage

It would bring the U.K. up to modern democracies, excluding Luxembourg the U.K. has not strong financial structure in place unlike the 15 original EU members

Critics argue that it would be unpopular and the current system has worked well

There is a wide range of choice meaning a consensus on a meaningful system appears unlikely - brexit and the lords are an illustration of the incapable parliament over mass decision making + it won’t tackle other inequalities such as the innate experience of the two major parties and regions entrenched in party values such as the south west and the northeast which bolster the party’s dominance’s

It would lead to excess regulation of parties, this was a key criticism of open democracy who highlight the BBC regulations as the end result of what parties would become of running on tax payers money likely undermining democracy based on their actions and decision makings plus removing influence of positive pressure groups (arguably trade unions)

Does this seem okay anyone? ^

It is not synoptic enough. All the reforms we learn are meant to be points we suggest in an essay. For example, if the essay q was asking to evaluate the view that the UK is a two party system, you could slap into the conclusion or one of your points that state funding would tackle the inequality between smaller and larger parties as smaller parties would have an equal chance to invest and improve their own propaganda.
