The Purpose
This website contains revision material and notes for A level politics, while it is mostly aimed towards the AQA spec a lot of the content and examples will be applicable for other exam boards. In the ideology section of the course I focus on Nationalism as an ideology, however I still have notes on Conservatism, Socialism and Liberalism.
Most politics text books are very dense, and often do not include as many examples as are necessay for the course. This website is designed to be a resource for students to gain the necessary understanding of the structure of essays required, and the key points and examples that are condensed for each topic, to ensure ease when studying.
You should not take the example answers to learn off by heart but rather, to study the structure and the way it is written to emmulate in your exams. Remember to ALWAYS analyse and evaluate your answers in 25 markers, this may include exploring your points in depth as to whether this is a strength for your argument, to what extent is it a strength, and how/why can it be seen as a weakness. The best answers will have a nuanced conclusion, however should match the argument you have carried through the whole of your answer.
