SQA Higher politics predictions

Was wondering if anyone had predictions on what will come up in the higher politics exam this year, and where the 12 marker will be?
Even though I know technically we shouldn't be worrying about predictions, they can be helpful

I believe it will be 20 marker on political ideologies, 12 marker political systems and 20 marker on voting behavior

Really? I'm thinking there will be a 12 marker in political parties and elections as they've not had on since 2021 (which no one actually had to sit). My politics teacher told me that politics is much more streamlined and fair than moddies, meaning 12 markers don't tend to be repeated and are instead switched about more evenly. This is all just speculation however! Would love to hear other people's thoughts...

That's interesting, I'm honestly just hoping the 12m is in systems because I find that section the hardest

I think 20 mark on political theory, 12 mark on political parties and elections and a 20 mark on political systems. More specifically I think the 12 mark will be on voting models and the 20 mark in political systems won’t be on the executive subheading.
