“Build Back Better!” “Make America Great Again!” What do politicians mean with their slogans? Can we trust them? What has changed in the UK since Britain left the EU? What impact will it have on your future? How did Trump become President again in 2024 after he lost to Biden in 2020? Why did the Conservatives win a landslide victory in 2019 then 5 years later lose over 250 seats seeing Labour win power with only 34% of the vote? These are just some of the things we investigate and debate whilst studying Politics. As you read this, laws are being debated in Parliament, MPs’ decisions are impacting on us and people are protesting about what matters to them; Politics never stops. This makes it a unique subject as it is constantly developing around you and gives you a greater understanding of what is happening in the world. Through independent study, debate and talks from speakers you will explore how people in the UK and the USA vote, who they vote for and how political parties and pressure groups influence the way people vote. You will study Governments in the UK and USA, contrasting how they work at local and national levels to represent and protect the rights of people like you. You also explore Political Ideas, looking at the development of Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism and Nationalism and where they fit into the world today. Politics combines well with A levels in History, English, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy and Ethics.
100% examination. Paper One: 33.3% - Government and Politics of the UK. Paper Two: 33.3% - Government and Politics of the USA. Paper Three: 33.3% - Political Ideas.
