Course summary

Politics is about you! You live in a democracy and, in theory, you have control over the laws of this country. You elect the people who represent you and make the laws. This course looks at people's power: how people participate and how they can influence a set of policies; pressure groups and protest movements; plus the inner workings of our democracy. You will become equipped with knowledge of how elections work and which electoral system is which. Ever wondered what ‘First past the Post’ truly means? As this is a truly dynamic course you will understand the political system by studying the changes within the system as they happen. The General Election of 2019, Brexit – six years on it dominates the political language and the ever-present need to have a political voice in an apathetic world – will you hold truth to power? Politics is a real-time event; it is constantly changing and this adds interest and gives a greater sense of importance to the topics studied. Modules titles: • Political Participation. • UK Government • Comparative Politics
