  • Politics Year 12 Summer Induction Work
    Politics Year 12 Summer Induction Work An Introduction to A Level Politics – work to complete for UK Politics Year 11, welcome to A Level Politics. This is a truly fascinating course and we are living through truly unprecedented times. Although Marlborough can feel somewhat distant from Westminster at times -where the key decisions around our country’s prosperity are made – we have all learned first-hand in recent weeks how political decision-making can very much affect our daily lives and the vital responsibility that politicians have to ensure the welfare of their voters. Textbooks and websites will give you many different definitions of politics. Politics is all about people, at its heart, its simply the process of how groups make decisions. Of course, we are particularly concerned with the group of people that make the decisions that govern our country. Therefore, your first year of studying politics in Year 12 is split into two halves. The first is known as ‘UK Politics’, this very much focuses on the big issues around choosing who the ‘group’(Members of Parliament) that governs Britain actually is. For example, you explore the type of democracy that Britain is today and its strengths and weaknesses, how people vote and the issues it presents, the different political parties in our system and finally why particular election results panned out the way they did. The second half of Year 12 is known as ‘UK Government’. This unit focuses more on the methods the MP’s use to govern the country. For example, you explore parliament and the law-making process, the powers of the prime minister and the cabinet and the role of the courts.
