Predictions : you can’t really guess the 9 markers but for the 3rd question it could be cultural/rational
Extract : how effective is Congress, direct democracy, (initatives),primary and caucuses, political parties (could be linked with congress), pressure groups(are they good for democracy)
Essays : party unity, party policies, “The constitutional power of the Prime Minister exceeds the power of the President” , representative democracy? my teacher said they can’t ask you to compare elections or party funding

I reckon the comparative 9 marker will be cultural because I don't think that has come up for a while. I hope the essays are on the executive or pressure groups but who knows!

Section C 25 marker is likely to be pressure groups as that hasn't come up since 2019. (do take this with a pinch of salt)
