Conservative party want people to be more independent when it comes to financer whereas the Labour party provide support to less priveliged people in finance
Mark: 0/4
No answer was provided for this question.
when 2 parties in a voting system have the same amount of rotes, causing a coalition. It's when both parties at least have a majority before becoming a coalition
Mark: 0/4
This answer contains several inaccuracies. A coalition is formed when no party has a majority, not when they already have one. The circumstance is not about having the "same amount of votes" but about no single party having enough to govern alone. No marks can be awarded.
One difference between the conservative and labour parties is that conservatives tax less since they believe that most public services should be privately owned meaning that taxpayer's dont have to use their money to pay for them however labour favour to allow public services to run such as TfL and the NHS. Another difference between the parties is that labour believes in helping everyone for example if they were to lose their jobs taxpayers money would go toward giving them benefits until they are stable.
Mark: 3/4
An excellent answer with strong points. You correctly contrast the Conservative view on low tax/privatisation with Labour's support for public services, which is a fully developed point. You also make a second valid point about Labour's support for a welfare state. Very well done.
A bill becomes a law via the Chancellor of the Excheque. They finalise the bill which has been discussed after sending it to through the first, second reading then sending it to the house of lord for then it will finally be passed by the monarch at the time.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified two key stages: the Readings and passage through the House of Lords. The role of the Chancellor is incorrect. To get more marks, at least two more distinct stages were needed.
A coalition government is a government comprised of two parties which is usually formed under the circumstances that the party which won the general election did not have a majority which could lead to them being often overturned in votes in parliament. Because of this they joined with another party that has similar veiws as them to gain a majority in parliament.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You provide a clear definition, an excellent and detailed explanation of the 'hung parliament' circumstance and the reasons for forming a coalition. The only thing missing is a specific example, but the explanation is so strong that full marks can be awarded.
The main difference is conservatives think that you should pay taxes and fundings like education and hospitals should be free of charge. They would provide for this with taxes. However, Labour thinks that you shouldn't pay taxes and you should keep your money as you earned it. But to have accsess to heathcare you would need to pay.
Mark: 0/4
Unfortunately, this answer has completely reversed the positions of the two parties. It is Labour that advocates for using taxes to fund free services, while Conservatives favour lower taxes and individuals paying for more services. No marks can be awarded.
A bill becomes a law by going through the white paper first. The white paper is the list of ideas they want to put in place. Then goes through the green paper. which is the finalised idea which gets sent to the House of Commons then the House of lords and lastly to the King/Queen for there signature for approval.
Mark: 2/4
This is a good attempt that identifies several correct stages (White Paper, Green Paper, Commons, Lords, Royal Assent). However, the order is incorrect (Green Paper comes before White Paper), which confuses the process and prevents a higher score. Two marks awarded for identifying multiple correct stages.
A coalition government is when 2 parties have a majority and both parties become elected. A circumstance which one may be formed in is when both parties have the same amount of seats. A coalition can only happen between 2 parties.
Mark: 1/4
This answer incorrectly states that a coalition is formed when parties *have* a majority. However, one mark can be awarded for identifying the correct circumstance – when parties "have the same amount of seats," which points towards the idea of a hung parliament.
The main difference between the conservative and labour parties is that in a labour party your in there for life, for example a member of the house of commons can't drop out unless they are dead or in prisom. A conservative party your able to drop out, you hear the public's opinion and don't collect taxes.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is not relevant to the question. It discusses incorrect ideas about MP tenure rather than the parties' approaches to public services and taxation.
A bill can become a law starting of with approval and agreements from the house of commons. second of all it reaches to the house of lords, they go over it and see if its able to pass. Third of all the government decides if it's worthy enough to go to the monarchy for it to be finnally announced or abolished.
Mark: 2/4
You have identified three valid stages: approval in the Commons, scrutiny by the Lords, and going to the monarch (Royal Assent). This is a good foundation, but the description is very general and lacks the formal names of the stages needed for a higher score. Two marks awarded for identifying the correct bodies involved.
A coalition government is a way to vote for a new government. This is like an election but instead your voting for a new government. A circumstance can be to have a full on persuasive reason so your attracted by more voters. You must be over 18 to vote for a new government.
Mark: 0/4
This answer does not correctly define a coalition government; it seems to be describing an election or referendum instead. No marks can be awarded.
The conservative party relies on people working for themselves. this includes reduced taxes and less work to be done, as well as more government involvement in public services, with the increased taxes to pay for this. contrastingly, the labour party relies on people working for themselves. This includes lower taxes and less government involvement in public services, where people pay for their own services and don't have to pay tax for others.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is very confused and contradicts itself multiple times. It incorrectly assigns the policies of lower and higher taxes to both parties at different points. The descriptions are too muddled and inaccurate to be awarded any marks.
A possibles laws are discussed by the house of commons and are written initially on a green paper. Once the exact law has been decided and discussed, it is written on a white paper. Next, the green paper is sent off to the house of lords for their readings (this occurs a total of 3 times). At the end of all discussion, it is sent to the monarch for royal assent.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent and detailed answer. You have correctly identified multiple stages: discussion in the Commons, Green Paper, White Paper, readings in the House of Lords, and Royal Assent. The order is slightly confused (Green Paper before White Paper) but you have clearly identified more than enough correct stages for full marks.
A coalition government could happen when two parties are in power. This creates a hung parliament in which the party in power doesn't have a majority of the seats. For example, if labour and conservative both got 40% of the total votes and the rest of the parties got the other 20%, both labour and conservative would be in power. This is a problem as they have opposing views and people didn't vote for both.
Mark: 2/4
You provide a good definition and a very clear explanation of a 'hung parliament'. The hypothetical example you give is also good for illustrating the point. To get full marks, you needed to provide a specific, real-world example as requested in the question (e.g., the 2010 coalition).
The Conservatives believe in lower taxes while Labour believes in higher taxes. Conservatives Labour aim for higher taxes to pay for better quality healthcare, education, other public services and benefits; so that if you lose your job or get sick you have something to fall back on. while Conservatives believe in working hard for your money and keeping more of it.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent and comprehensive answer. You have successfully explained the differing views on taxation and linked them clearly to each party's philosophy on public services, benefits, and individual financial responsibility. Two fully developed points are made.
First, the law is drafted on a green paper and it goes through the House of Commons and then Lords. there is a first reading. Then there is the white paper, which goes through both housing in the second reading. Then a third reading, and lastly it goes to the monarch to approve it.
Mark: 4/4
A very detailed answer. Although the sequence of events is quite jumbled, you have correctly named a large number of valid stages: Green Paper, White Paper, House of Commons, House of Lords, First, Second, and Third Readings, and Royal Assent. This is more than enough for full marks.
A coalition government is formed when in an election there is no party with a majority (over 50% of seats). this could be formed when no party gets over 50% of seats in Parliament, making it much more difficult to pass laws as they could easily be outnumbered. However, with a coalition government they would have a majority and be able to pass laws. for example if labour got 45% and Conservative got 30%, they could join together and have 75% in total.
Mark: 3/4
An excellent response. You provide a perfect definition, a clear explanation of the circumstances (no majority/hung parliament), and a good hypothetical example to illustrate your point. To get the final mark, a specific, real-world example (like the 2010 coalition) was required.
A conservative party is the left wing where you don't have to pay any taxes. this is used for any issues the government has. The Labour party however is where you do have to pay taxes that are used for basic needs and housing, school funds ect.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is factually incorrect on multiple points. It misidentifies the Conservative party as 'left wing' and incorrectly describes the taxation policies of both parties. No marks can be awarded.
A Bill becomes a law by going through the government and the parties. They either agree/accept or disagree/decline the vote and if the majority votes win, that law is then accepted and become a law.
Mark: 1/4
This is a very general answer. It correctly identifies that a vote is part of the process, so one mark can be awarded for this. However, to get more marks, you need to name the specific, formal stages a bill goes through in Parliament.
A Coalition government is a government with many different formed up with many different parties that help pass laws. One might be formed in order to help get votes to pass laws in the UK.
Mark: 2/4
You have provided a good basic definition of a coalition and correctly explained its purpose (to get enough votes to pass laws). This is a solid answer, but it is missing a specific example as requested by the question.
The main differences is one has sperger way on helping people. For example Conservative beleive why should you pay taxes with your hard own money to help people that dont work, On the other hand Labour is more open and cares for other. Another example is keeping a job or money to help those indeed that may not have a job and hav children.
Mark: 1/4
You have made one valid point that captures the Conservative perspective on taxation and individual responsibility. The points made about the Labour party are very general and do not develop the comparison in enough detail to earn further marks.
The process of how a bill becomes a law is first it goes through a green paper where all your ideas are. Then as a final editing... Then is goes to the part of the monarch... if it should be allowed or not.
Mark: 2/4
This answer is quite vague but correctly identifies two elements of the process: the "green paper" and the role of the "monarch" (Royal Assent). To gain more marks, you needed to identify at least two other, clearer stages.
A coalition government is when two parties joined together to represent and share their idea as one government. One circumstance is there might be more ideas being shared in both which may suggest why it happens...
Mark: 1/4
You have provided a reasonable basic definition of a coalition government. However, you have not correctly identified the circumstances under which one is formed (a hung parliament) and have not provided an example.
One difference between the Conservatives and Labour Party is that Labour Party values everyone. For example if people who are not that rich are in trouble then they would get support by them. Another difference is that conservatives do not value everyone of an age. For example, if a person was rich then they would be fine with it but if a person was poor, they would not have done anything to support them.
Mark: 1/4
You have correctly identified the basic principle of the Labour Party providing a social safety net. However, the description of the Conservative party is an oversimplified caricature rather than an accurate reflection of their policies, so it cannot be awarded marks.
A bill becomes a law by the chancellor of Exchequer. They finalise the bill which has been discussed after discussions have ended with the House of commons and the House of lords when they eventually reach an agreement. there is also a green paper and a white paper where people would write their enquiries.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer. You have correctly identified four distinct stages in the legislative process: the House of Commons, the House of Lords, the Green Paper, and the White Paper. The role of the Chancellor is incorrect, but you have more than enough correct stages for full marks.
A Coalition government is when more than one party combine together to make a government. this means that when passing laws the process takes longer because they are constantly having to agree. This would make the people of the country feel anngry because they would feel that their voice is not being heard or acknowledged.
Mark: 1/4
You have provided a good, clear definition of a coalition government. However, to gain more marks you needed to explain the circumstances under which one is formed (a hung parliament) and provide a specific example.
The Mien difference between the Conservative and the Labour parties is that they have a different approach to how people should be taxed. For example, the parties would want to tax more money. Another relevance is public services, for example the Labour parties believe that you shouldn't pay because it takes out of people's taxes and where if they don't need it
Mark: 0/4
This answer is very confused and does not clearly or accurately state the position of either party. The phrasing "the parties would want to tax more money" is too general, and the explanation for Labour's policy is incoherent. No marks can be awarded.
A bill is first discussed in the house of commons. the vite then plans drawn on a green paper and send it to the house of the lords. the house of the lords will then check it and send it back if their are faults then they make a white paper... then it will be sent to the Monarch for them to pass it or not
Mark: 4/4
An excellent, detailed answer. You have successfully identified multiple key stages of the legislative process, including discussion in the Commons, the Green and White Papers, scrutiny in the House of Lords, and the final approval from the Monarch (Royal Assent). Very well done.
A Coalition government is where parties with relatively similar heius come together because the winning party didnt have a majority. For example in the Conservatives won an election and didnt have a majority they could form a coalition government with a party like similar views.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You provide a clear definition, correctly identify the circumstance as a party not winning a majority, and give a clear and accurate hypothetical example that demonstrates full understanding of the concept. Excellent.
Conservatives believe in taxing people quite high, becase it helps fund those who are seoky. Labour party believe you shouldn't have to work on behalf of others so taxes can stay low because their situation isn't your problem.
Mark: 0/4
Unfortunately, this answer has completely reversed the positions of the two parties. Conservatives generally advocate for lower taxes, while Labour advocates for higher taxes to fund public services. No marks can be awarded.
A bill becos a law by the chancelor's approval. it starts at the house of commons, then goes to the house of lords where it is discussed and if accepted it is then reviewed and has to pass the green paper, white paper and one last step it is then set to be sig by the approval which will never say no to.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified several components of the process, including the roles of the Commons and Lords, and have named the Green and White paper stages. The process is a bit jumbled, but you have identified enough correct elements to be awarded two marks.
A coalition governmet is when a party wins a vote but has a weak majority lets say 35%, so partnes with the next best party to have a majority. For example in 2013 the UK had a coalition party however, it made things much slower as the 2 parties couldn't agree so it didnt really work.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is incorrect. A coalition forms when a party *doesn't* win a majority, not when it has a "weak majority." The example year of 2013 is also incorrect. No marks can be awarded.
The Conservative Party prefer lower taxation and the Labour Party prefer higher taxation. Tories believe that if people have more disposable incomy they spend more on businesses, who pay their employees more, resulting in a better quality of life. Labour wants more taxes to fund public services directly like the NHS, which would massively enable them to help us when we need medical treatment or another service.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You have provided two distinct and fully developed points, accurately explaining the rationale behind both the Conservative and Labour parties' approaches to taxation and public service funding. Excellent.
For a bill to become a law, first it's on green paper as an initial draft. After the first reading in the House of Commons, the bill is refined onto a white paper after debate in Parliament (the first reading). Then it is voted on in a second reading to see whether it can pass to be debated in the House of Lords, where they redo the entire aforementioned process. After all that, the British monarch grants royal assent as a gesture of tradition, making the bill a law.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent and well-detailed answer. You have successfully identified and explained the roles of the First and Second Readings, the debate and passage through the House of Lords, and the final stage of Royal Assent. You also correctly mention the green and white paper stages. Superb.
A coalition government is a government made up of two or more parties. Generally coalition governments are only made if Parliament is hung, and we have no party with a majority of 326+ seats. for example, in the 2010 general election, the Conservative party had the most seats but less than 325, so they teamed up with the Liberal Democrats to form a majority government. David Cameron - Tory PM at the time - dropped the coalition with the Lib Dems in 2012.
Mark: 4/4
This is a perfect answer. You provide a clear definition, an accurate explanation of a hung parliament with the correct number of seats mentioned, and a detailed, factually correct example from the 2010 election. Very well done.
The labour party wants to provide public services such as the NHS A free of charge, this helps those who would be too poor to afford these services, however in order for the government to fund these services, taxes must be increased. The conservatives however, believe that people should work hard for their money & not have to spend it to take care of others via taxes. This benefits the wealthy as they will have enough money to pay for services, whereas labour policies benefit the poor.
Mark: 4/4
An outstanding answer. You have provided two excellent, fully-developed points that clearly contrast the ideologies of both parties. You have linked their views on public services directly to their taxation policies and explained who benefits from each approach. Superb.
Once a law is proposed in parliament, it is a green paper. The pa green paper will the go through a first reading in the house of commons. The proposed law will then be sent for a second reading in the house of lords. The green paper will then be refined into a white paper. MP's will vote on wheather to pass the law or not. If a majority of MP's vote in favour, the bill will be sent to the monarch for royal assent & become law.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent, well-structured answer. You have correctly identified and explained the Green Paper stage, the First Reading in the Commons, the Second Reading in the Lords, and the final vote by MPs, as well as Royal Assent. A very comprehensive and accurate response.
A coalition government is when no single party gains a majority in parliament, leading two parties to combine into a coalition in order to gain a majority. A larger party such as labour or conservative will often form a coalition with a smaller party such as liberal democrats. An example of this is when the conservatives formed a coalition with the liberal democrats in order to gain a majority in parliament in 2010.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You provide a clear and accurate definition, explain the circumstance of a hung parliament, describe how a coalition is typically formed, and give the correct, specific example from 2010. Excellent.
Conservative party agrees that people should be taxed for things like disabled people, transport and NHS. whilst the labour party doesn't. The Labour party thinks people should just pay for things like hospital bills while conservative party thinks people should get taxed for transport like buses. whilst Labour disagree and think it should be just pay.
Mark: 2/4
This answer is quite confusing and seems to reverse the parties' positions in places. It correctly identifies that Conservatives believe people should pay for more services (implying less state funding) and that Labour believes some services should be free (implying state funding). Two marks are awarded for these basic, albeit muddled, points.
The first stage of processing a bill into a law is the first reading. This is where the idea/bill is first proposed to overment. The second stage is the second reading, where people in parliament debate the law. should it be finalised. After, the select committee checks the bill to see if its suitable. After that the final debate is made and it goes into a law!
Mark: 4/4
An excellent, clear, and well-structured answer. You have correctly identified and explained the First Reading, Second Reading, Committee Stage, and a final debate stage (Third Reading). This demonstrates a thorough understanding of the process.
A coalition government is when an election is made but no parties get a majority, meaning the parties have to come in to make a majority. This might be formed in the UK if no party gets 50% of votes, leading to two parties joining eg. Labour recieing 40% and having to group with another party with similar views as them.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You provide a very clear definition of a coalition, accurately explain the circumstance of no party getting a majority, and use a clear and correct hypothetical example to illustrate your point fully. Excellent.
The Conservative Party is more for the right side of parliament and they believe certain ways the country is run (free hospitals is wrong and they think taxes are important). however the Labour party unlike Conservatives are left wing and support immigration and supporting the economically challenged side of the country.
Mark: 2/4
You have made one well-developed point. You correctly identify that Labour supports the "economically challenged" and contrast this with the Conservative view that "free hospitals is wrong," which correctly hints at their preference for private healthcare options. To get more marks, a second point was needed.
The bill is first addressed in the House of Commons and all modifications are said in order to be put into The Green Paper, which then is heard in parliament again and all new queries and modifications are addresed in the White Paper which is then reviewed and given royal assent.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer. You have correctly identified four distinct stages in the correct order: introduction in the House of Commons, the Green Paper, the White Paper, and Royal Assent. This shows a very clear and accurate understanding of the process.
A coalition government is a government formed by two parties in order to gain a majority. When a party wins an election, whey do not recieve a majority vote they become a hung parliament which makes it hard to pass laws... so they form a coalition in order to have a majority.
Mark: 3/4
A very strong answer that provides a perfect definition of a coalition and an excellent, detailed explanation of the 'hung parliament' circumstance that leads to one. The only thing missing for full marks is a specific, real-world example (e.g., the 2010 coalition).
Conservatives are the extreme right wing... Conservatives beleive more in independance in money with lower taxes so they only look after themselves. Richer people tend to be conservative because they want to keep their money. The labour party beleives that we should be responsible for everyone. & Public services like the NHS are heavily funded. Poorer people tend to be pro labour as whenever they need funding or support they can get it.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent, detailed answer. You have successfully contrasted the core ideologies of both parties, linking Conservative beliefs to lower taxes and individual responsibility, and Labour beliefs to collective responsibility and well-funded public services. Two fully developed points are made.
First off in a law making process is the green and white paper which are rough drafts of a bill. Next are the three hearings in the house of commons where they are discussed and judicial review where judges looke over the law and see if its worth passing... Next these steps is repeated in the house of commons and all steps are repeated in the house of lords. if a majority agree it is sent to the monarch to sign it off
Mark: 4/4
A highly detailed and comprehensive answer. You have correctly identified a wide range of stages, including the Green and White Papers, the readings in the Commons, judicial review as a form of scrutiny, and the role of the House of Lords. This demonstrates a superb understanding of the process.
A coalition government is when two political partys join together to create a majority. It is done when a singal political party doesn't have a majority. It joins with a group with like minded policies but with enough votes so that when joined there is a majority. The problem with Coalition government is that sometimes the parties have contrasting views and they have to settle it themselves.
Mark: 3/4
An excellent answer. You provide a perfect definition, a clear explanation of the circumstances, and even add a thoughtful point about the potential for conflict within a coalition. The only thing missing to achieve full marks is a specific, real-world example.
The conservative party focuses on helping people pay less tax, as they do not want as much money to be used on social services, however the labour party focuses on increasing tax to give people in need more aid and freedom.
Mark: 2/4
You have made one clear, well-developed point. You correctly identify the differing approaches to taxation and link them to the parties' views on social services and providing aid. To get full marks, a second distinct point was needed.
when a bill is suggested, it has to undergo a first reading in the house of commons. In this stage nothing is altered, just read. Then the bill is discussed between the members of the house of commons. Then, it undergoes a second reading in the house of lords, and once again it is discussed. Finally, the monarch must grant royal assent, and then the law is passed.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect, textbook answer. You have correctly identified the First Reading, the discussion/debate stage, the Second Reading in the House of Lords, and Royal Assent. Your descriptions are clear and accurate. Excellent.
A coalition government is when no party has the majority in an election, so two parties join forces, giving them a majority. This ensures that the parties are supported by the votes, creating a stronger government. However, the two parties' ideas may clash, creating confusion in parliament government.
Mark: 3/4
A very strong answer. You provide a perfect definition and explanation of the circumstances, and you add a valid point about the potential for disagreement within a coalition. The only thing missing for full marks is a specific, real-world example.
A difference between the conservative a labour party is labour party increase taxes for those who own more money, while conservatives aim to increase government spending and reduce government spending while conservatives aim to increase government spending and keeps taxes low and support working class.
Mark: 1/4
This answer is very contradictory and confusing. You have made one correct point: that Labour seeks to increase taxes for those with more money. However, the rest of the answer incorrectly and confusingly assigns policies to the Conservative party.
Bill becomes a law through first the house of commons where it is written on a green paper and is sent up to the house of lords where they if they approve it may go through the same process of voting... and then it is sent to the monarch/king where he approves the laws.
Mark: 4/4
A good answer that identifies all the key institutions involved in the legislative process: the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch. You have also correctly identified the Green Paper stage. This is sufficient for full marks.
A circumstance in which a coalition government may take place is in proportional representation. A government coalition is when no party has a majority & an example of two or more parties is in proportional representation.
Mark: 0/4
While you correctly state that a coalition happens when "no party has a majority," the rest of the answer is confused and repetitive. It doesn't provide a clear definition or a valid UK-based example. The focus on proportional representation is not incorrect, but it doesn't answer the core parts of the question.
A difference between Conservative and Labour is that while Conservatives believe in an equal percentage of taxation for all, Labour believes that the percentage of taxes should change depending on how financially stable someone is. Another difference between Conservative and Labour is that Conservatives believe that businesses should be made private, while labours believe that businesses should not be made private.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer. You have provided two distinct and perfectly explained points of contrast: the difference between a flat/equal tax and a progressive tax system, and the differing views on the privatisation of businesses and services. Superb.
A bill is a proposal for a new law. It starts as a green paper which is a consultation document to test ideas. Then it becomes a white paper which is a more concrete formal document. Then it enters its First Reading where the bill is formally introduced to MPs. Then enters its second stage where the bills main principle are debated and voted on. The next is the committee stage where ammendments to the bill are made. After that is the third reading where the ammended bill is voted on.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect, textbook answer. You have listed multiple stages in the correct order and with clear, accurate descriptions. This demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the legislative process. Very well done.
A coalition government is a party government that contains many different parties. This can sometimes lead to an unstable democracy as many views an opinions are being expressed from many different MPs. An example of this would be the government of China. A coalition government may be formed if the voting system is PR (Proportional representation).
Mark: 2/4
You provide a good definition of a coalition. Your point about Proportional Representation often leading to coalitions is also valid. However, you have not explained the specific circumstance in the UK (a hung parliament) and the example of China is incorrect. Two marks awarded for the definition and PR point.
One difference of the 2 parties is that Labour party increases taxes for mose who own mroe. however conservatives increase government spending. Another difference is that conservatives aim to save British and keep its values. On the other hand labour aims to represent working class.
Mark: 1/4
You have made one correct point: that Labour seeks to increase taxes on those with more money. However, the rest of the answer is either irrelevant to the question (e.g., "saving British values") or factually incorrect (Conservatives generally aim to reduce, not increase, government spending).
First a bill is drafted on white paper then they move onto green paper. After that both houses have its first reaching (house of lords and commons) which is the second time. The they make agreements until both houses agree. Lastly royal assent is given.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer that identifies multiple correct stages. Although you have reversed the order of the Green and White papers, you have correctly identified the First and Second Readings, the role of both houses, and Royal Assent, which is more than enough for full marks.
A coalition government is when two party gets a majority in parliament so two parties combine to get over 50%, for example 2 parties may not have a majority but have 30% so join together and go to get a majority. This will make it easier to pass laws however 2 parties may disgy.
Mark: 2/4
You provide a good definition of a coalition and use a clear hypothetical example to illustrate your point. To improve, you needed to explicitly state the term 'hung parliament' as the circumstance and provide a real-world example.
The main difference between the conservative and labour party is that they have different approaches to government involvement in public services is their education. labour created a national education service that provides free education whereas the conservative party has created more schools to improve standards. Conservatives lower taxes, Labour increase taxes for more services for the public.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer. You have provided two clear and fully developed points of contrast: the parties' different approaches to education and their opposing stances on the level of taxation for public services. Well done.
Firstly the Bill goes through a first reading, then a second reading, then it goes through a committee stage then a report stage. Then gets shown to a monarch as a royal assent. Before the first reading moves on both house of commons and house of lords go back and forth until both houses agree.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect, textbook answer. You have correctly identified the First and Second Readings, the Committee and Report Stages, and Royal Assent, all in the correct order. The mention of 'parliamentary ping-pong' between the houses is an excellent addition. Superb.
a Coalition government is when a party doesn't have a majority so the two partys with the closest amount of votes get joined together in a hung parliament. this would only happen if people in the UK don't vote enough and if one of the parties don't get a majority of votes.
Mark: 2/4
You have provided a very clear definition of a coalition and correctly identified the circumstance as a 'hung parliament' where no party gets a majority. This is a very strong start, but the answer is missing a specific example as requested by the question.
Conservative increase lower taxes for people with less money Labour increases taxes for people who earn more money
Mark: 1/4
You have correctly identified that Labour seeks to increase taxes on higher earners. However, the first part of your answer, "Conservative increase lower taxes," is contradictory and doesn't make sense. You need to clearly state that Conservatives favour lower taxes overall.
First of all the bill is first spoken by House of Commons and House of Lords, then it is shown to the monarch and the monarch is not allowed to disagree with the law so the monarch has to sign it, And then it becomes a law.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified the roles of the two houses of Parliament (Commons and Lords) and the final stage of Royal Assent from the monarch. To get more marks, you needed to include at least two more specific stages, such as the Readings or Committee Stage.
A coalition goerment is a government made of more than one party. It is formed when no one party has enough seats to form is government. So they need majority.
Mark: 0/4
This answer provides a reasonable definition of a coalition and correctly identifies that it happens when no single party has "enough seats." However, the response is incomplete and does not earn a mark without further development or a specific example.
One difference between conservative party and Labour Parties is that labour party mainly focus on decreasing prices where as Conservative Party focused on Immigration. Labour partyer could fund public services like state police officers. They may make list of promises to the goverment that wont actually happen. Conservative Party they may not want to increase tax but the Labour party would want free hospital.
Mark: 1/4
This answer is quite jumbled, but it contains one clear and correct point: contrasting the Conservative's desire not to increase tax with Labour's desire for free hospitals (funded by tax). The other points about prices and immigration are not relevant to the question.
In the parliaments they go through different papers Firstly it starts with the white green paper then the white paper then the ballot paper and then you would have to take it to the house of lords and see if they agree withit then you would have to take it to the king or queen for them to sign of the bill it then finally it becomes a law.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is very confused. It invents stages like "white green paper" and "ballot paper." While it correctly mentions the House of Lords and the monarch, the overall process described is inaccurate and cannot be awarded any marks.
A Coalition government is when 2 parties are formed in one government and they discuss about stuff which can lead to conflict and disagreements with each other. An example can be the Conservative Party with the labour party and they come into conflict if they disagree with each other's views.
Mark: 0/4
This answer provides a vague definition and an incorrect example. A Conservative-Labour coalition has never happened and is extremely unlikely. The answer does not explain the circumstances under which a coalition would form.
Conservative is belief in tradition family values and authority, and labour parties has formed to represent the working classes responsible for implementing the state and NHS. Example education, Create a national education service that provides free education.
Mark: 1/4
This answer makes one valid point, which is that Labour created a national education service that provides free education. The other points are either too general or confuse the roles of the two parties.
I thing a bill becomes a law like who has do the card or something about that. a bill make like the card.
Mark: 0/4
This answer does not describe the process of how a bill becomes a law and its meaning is unclear. No marks can be awarded.
Coalition government is when the government the charity, of talking about society. the judiciary or also executive in the government.
Mark: 0/4
This answer does not provide a correct definition of a coalition government. It seems to be listing different branches of government, which is not relevant to the question. No marks can be awarded.
The main differences between the conservatives is that the labour parties believe taxes are the same as free services for example the NHS.
Mark: 0/4
This sentence is unclear and does not accurately describe the position of either party regarding taxation and public services. No marks can be awarded.
The bill first is from the public, but it has to go through multiple stages to become a law. First, it is discussed in parliament, and if all goes well, it is accepted as a law.
Mark: 1/4
You have correctly identified one general stage – that a bill is "discussed in parliament." However, the answer is very vague and lacks the names of the specific stages (like Readings, Committee Stage) required for more marks.
A Coalition government is when two parties take over a government.
Mark: 1/4
You have provided a very basic definition. To gain more marks, you needed to explain the circumstances under which this happens (a hung parliament) and provide a specific example.
Conservatives are deemed to represent the working class implementors of welfare state and the NHS. Conservative Party is concerned with main principles to protect British culture and traditions promotes private transport.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is very confused and contains several inaccuracies. For example, it is the Labour party, not the Conservatives, that is traditionally seen as representing the working class. No marks can be awarded.
...royal assent, Green Paper, White-Paper, First reading, second reading, commitee stage, report stage, third reading...
Mark: 4/4
Although presented as a list, you have correctly identified a large number of the stages a bill goes through to become law, including Royal Assent, Green and White Papers, all three readings, and the committee/report stages. Excellent knowledge.

This answer is incoherent and does not provide a correct definition or any other relevant information.

Mark: 1/4
You have made one valid point about the Labour party's commitment to providing free education. The other points are more about general ideology and do not directly answer the question on public services and taxation.
The law comes to drang up in the House of Commons... Gets past on to the house of lords in stoges within Green Paper then the white paper then Furst ready... on secad ready MPs may vote on the bill. ore ore commibbe stage...
Mark: 2/4
You have identified multiple correct stages (Commons, Lords, Green/White paper, readings, committee stage) but the sequence is completely jumbled, which prevents the answer from scoring higher. Two marks are awarded for identifying correct stages.
A coumbia govenmuls is when two goremuls are formed and towel togele... the circumstances is that both have to agree to be celees...
Mark: 0/4
This answer is very unclear and does not provide a correct definition of a coalition, nor does it explain the circumstances or provide an example.
Labour cares moe about the worthing dass and the rights as those wath little power. For example, they creceded the NHS and welfare state, however this does lead to a hiefar tax. Hoverer Comervatives argue that those who work harder shouldn't and earn more money shouldn't be taxed as much as it is seen as unpair. This means you pay less tax but get less public benefit
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer that demonstrates a strong understanding of the ideological differences between the two parties. You have provided two clear points of contrast (welfare state vs. lower taxes) and have developed both points with clear explanations.
Fust a bill will be dehated in Partiment if enough peale agree with it a vote will take place in which the mayerdy of Parliament must agree with it
Mark: 1/4
You have described one general stage of the process, which is debate and voting in Parliament. To achieve a higher score, you needed to identify at least three other distinct stages and use the correct terminology (e.g., First Reading, Committee Stage).
Mark: 0/4
No answer was provided for this question.
The Main differences between the conseralives and labour Parties is that the labour Parties believe that taxes are equal to free Services Such as the NHS, Police. ext. Paying taxes allows us to get those Services whenever we want... Conservaties lower taxes.
Mark: 2/4
You have made one well-developed point. You correctly state that Labour believes taxes should pay for free services and contrast this with the Conservative preference for lower taxes. To get full marks, a second distinct point was required.
The Process Of how a bill becomes a law is through Parliment. These Stages are first they are passed to the judge/MPs and they are discussed with members of the Parliment then It is passed on to the judge, the judge then deciders wheather the bill should be law or not
Mark: 1/4
This answer is very confused. The UK legislative process does not involve a 'judge' deciding if a bill should become law. One mark is awarded for correctly identifying that the bill is discussed with members of Parliament, but the rest of the description is incorrect.
Coaliation goverment is when two Parties take over you
Mark: 0/4
This answer is incomplete and does not correctly define a coalition government.
The conservatives believe people should pay lower taxes and people should work for things whilst the labour party believes we should pay higher taxes and the wealthy should be taxed more. They also believe in state owner-ship so we can close the gap around the amount of poor people and public services should be provided by government and provide a safety net.
Mark: 4/4
A superb answer. You have clearly identified and explained two distinct points of difference: the level of taxation and the principle of state ownership of services. You have accurately represented the views of both parties in a well-structured response.
for a bill to become a law it must go through the first reading where the Hol and Hoc hear the bill for the first time. There is then a second reading and parliament debate and HOL offers scrutiny. after this it is the committee stage, the select committee checks the bill and makes sure it achieves what it should and report any changes. Third reading takes place, final debates and votes take place. The monarch gives royal assent and the bill becomes a law.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent, textbook answer. You have correctly identified and explained the First Reading, Second Reading, Committee Stage, and Third Reading, as well as Royal Assent. This shows a comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the legislative process.
A coalition government forms when no party has an overall majority (50%+1) so there is a hung parliament. this happens so that if decisions are made it can be in favour of the party with the most seats. An example of this was in 2010 when a Coalition was formed between 2 parties as there was no overall majority.
Mark: 3/4
An excellent answer. You provide a perfect definition of a coalition and a clear explanation of a hung parliament. You also give the correct year for the most recent coalition. To get the final mark, you just needed to name the two parties involved in the 2010 coalition.
Examiner's Comments
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified the core ideological difference between the two parties regarding individual independence versus collective support. To gain more marks, you needed to develop these points by linking them to specific policies on taxation or public services.
