idk about the 30 markers but for ideologies on Paper 1 it could be socialism and conservatism cause based on past paper questions they’ve never asked the same ideology 3 years in a row and socialism came up last in 2023 and they’ve never not asked it after 2 years (if that makes sense) also I’m thinking one of the questions will be on human nature cause they’ve never asked that, they’ve asked society twice, state twice and economy three times

All of our prediction paper resources had smth about extension of the franchise 😭 so like 16 year olds, prisoners etc + factors impacting party success in elections
Ideologies was conservatism with emphasis on the New Right (it varied) and socialists conflict over the economy
I think they're gonna do rights protection because of Rwanda Ngl

You can talk about prisoners, young people and impact on turnout if you want 3 points for an essay plan. That's the plan I'm going to memorise, saying we shouldn't extend it overall.

I've written out the source topics and essay topics and I think you're right. Closest we've had to a FPTP question in the last 2 years was a source on the 1997 election being lost by the government rather than won by the opposition in 2023. No franchise question since at least 2019. No 2-party system or minor parties in a while. Media was last spoken about in 2022. How do you think they'd phrase those essay questions?
