Explain what a coalition government is and describe the circumstances under which one might be formed in the UK. Use an example to support your answer.
Student's Answer
A coalition government is when two party join together. This is maybe because there are not enough people so they need to join together. This is also known as an Hang parliment, when there are not enough people.
Feedback
Strengths
- You have correctly identified that a coalition involves parties joining together and you have used the correct term 'hung parliament'.
Targets
- Your explanation needs more detail. It's not about a lack of 'people', but a lack of 'seats' in Parliament. A party needs a majority of seats to govern alone. If they don't have this after an election, it results in a hung parliament.
- You did not provide an example. The most common one is the 2010 coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.

the main differences between the two is the Conservative supports cutting taxes and meet meritocracy where as the labour party supports the warefare system and workers
Feedback
Strengths
- You have correctly identified two key differences between the parties: Conservatives favouring tax cuts and Labour supporting the welfare system.
Targets
- To reach the higher marks, you need to develop these points further. For example, explain *why* Conservatives support cutting taxes (to encourage private enterprise) and *how* Labour supports the welfare system (through higher taxation on top earners to fund public services like the NHS).

Strengths
- You have given a clear and accurate definition of what a coalition government is.
Targets
- Your description of the circumstances is slightly inaccurate. It's not when 'both' parties haven't won, but when *no single* party wins an overall majority. The correct term for this is a 'hung parliament'.
- Your example is incorrect. The main Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition was formed in 2010. In 2015, the Conservatives won a majority on their own.

Feedback
Strengths
- You have clearly identified the core difference in taxation policy – Conservatives favouring lower taxes and Labour favouring higher taxes for the rich to fund services.
Targets
- To improve, you could add more specific details. For public services, mention that Conservatives may favour private enterprise and selective schools, while Labour champions the NHS and comprehensive education funded by the state.

Explain what a coalition government is and describe the circumstances under which one might be formed in the UK. Use an example to support your answer.
Student's Answer
a coalition is formed when two parties join together to form one partie because a party does not have many seats. For example if a labour party is elected but they dont have enough seats they might form a coalition with liberals.

Strengths
- You have a good understanding that a coalition is formed when a party lacks enough seats and needs to join with another.
Targets
- Your explanation of the circumstances could be more precise. Use the term 'hung parliament', which is when no single party wins an overall majority of seats in a general election.

Conservatives aim for higher benefits and lower taxes but labour aim for lower taxes for large companys. Conservatives promote private buisnesses but labour wants state-and buisnesses for large buisnesses
Feedback
Targets
- You have correctly identified the Conservative preference for private enterprise versus Labour's support for state ownership.
- However, your points on taxation are confused. It is the Conservative party that typically supports lower taxes (especially for companies) to encourage business, while the Labour party tends to support higher taxes on large companies and high earners to fund public services.

The Conservative party specialise in helping the richor the elderly so they attempt to lower taxation however this co leads to less public services for the rest of the people. He on the other hand, the Labour government specialise in helping the hardworking youth so they strive for a higher suppley in Public Services however, this leads to higher taxation
Feedback
Strengths
- A well-developed answer. You have correctly identified the core trade-off for both parties: Conservatives' lower taxes leading to fewer public services, and Labour's provision of more public services requiring higher taxation.
Targets
- While your general points are correct, the focus on specific demographics ('the elderly', 'the youth') is a generalisation. To improve, focus on the underlying ideologies: Conservatives believe in individual responsibility and a smaller state, while Labour believes in a larger state providing a safety net for all.
Describe the process of how a bill becomes a law, including at least four key stages it must pass through in Parliament.
Student's Answer
The first stop of a bill becoming a law is a petition. The next stage is a white paper. It is discussed in Parliament by the mp's and the opposition bench (they may change the bill slightly). Once they agree the bill goes to green paper. The last stage is Royal ascent. When the Monarch accepts it becomes a law.

Targets
- You have the order of Green and White papers reversed. A Green Paper is a consultation document to gather opinions, while a White Paper is a more formal proposal for the new law.
- You have missed the main parliamentary stages. You need to describe the specific 'readings' a bill goes through in the House of Commons and Lords, such as the Second Reading (main debate) and Committee Stage (detailed scrutiny). A petition is a way for the public to raise an issue, but it is not a formal stage in a bill's passage.

Explain the main differences between the Conservative and Labour parties in terms of their approach to government involvement in public services and taxation.
Student's Answer
The labour party focuses on more higher taxes for the wealthy, and benefits the younger generation more. However, the conservative party focuses more on decreasing and removing taxes, and, that we should pay for free things such as healthcare.
Feedback
Targets
- You have made a good start by identifying the different approaches to taxation.
- Your last point is contradictory. The idea that "we should pay for free things such as healthcare" is more aligned with the Labour party's ideology of funding public services through taxation. The Conservative approach often involves reduced government spending, which may mean more private involvement in services. You need to clearly link each party's tax policy to its stance on public service funding.
Describe the process of how a bill becomes a law, including at least four key stages it must pass through in Parliament.
Student's Answer
For a bill to become a law it goes through many stages. First, it goes through the green paper, which is when the government first proposes the new idea. After this, it goes into the white paper which is when the government gives their firm reading on the new law. Then the bill is sent to Parliment where the house of commons and house of lords have the first and second reading of the paper. Once the houses agree, the bill is then sent to Royal Assent where the Monarchy signs and confirms the bill and it is turned into an act of parliment.
Feedback
Strengths
- You have correctly identified and sequenced several key stages: Green Paper, White Paper, First and Second Reading, and Royal Assent. This shows a good overall knowledge of the process.
Targets
- To get full marks, you needed to include more of the stages that happen *within* Parliament. After the Second Reading, the bill goes to the Committee Stage for detailed examination and then the Third Reading for a final vote. Including one of these would have secured the final mark.

A bill is discussed in parliament first, this is the green paper. Then it's then discussed about to the wider public. This is the white paper. Then it goes through a stage where the backbenchers scrutinise the bill. Afterwards, it goes through the committe stage where one MP reviews the bill before it's sent to the House of Lords. If they agree on it, it gets sent to the monarch, this is called Royal Assent the monarch sign accepts the bill and it becomes a law.

- You have clearly stated the opposing views on taxation: Conservatives wanting lower taxes and Labour wanting to increase them for the wealthy.
- You have successfully linked these taxation policies to public services (healthcare and education costs).
Targets
- To develop your answer further, explain the ideological reasons behind these policies. For example, Conservatives favour lower taxes to promote 'private enterprise' and 'individual responsibility', while Labour uses higher taxes to fund the 'welfare state' and promote 'equality'. Using this terminology would elevate your response.

Explain the main differences between the Conservative and Labour parties in terms of their approach to government involvement in public services and taxation.
Student's Answer
Conservatives are formed with main principles to protect British culture and traditions, promoting private ownership and private enterprises while Labour party is formed to represent the working class, responsible for implementing the Welfare State and NHS.
Feedback
Strengths
- An excellent, comprehensive answer. You have drawn directly from the indicative content, showing a clear understanding of the foundational principles of both parties.
- You have successfully contrasted the Conservative focus on private enterprise with Labour's commitment to public services like the welfare state and the NHS. This demonstrates a strong grasp of the topic.
Targets
- To make this perfect, you could have explicitly mentioned taxation as requested in the question, for example, by stating that Labour's funding for the NHS comes from higher taxation, whereas the Conservative promotion of private enterprise is supported by a policy of lower taxation.
Describe the process of how a bill becomes a law, including at least four key stages it must pass through in Parliament.
Student's Answer
Green paper - the proposed law from the House of Commons is discussed with Experts. A bill becomes a law through debate in the house of commons and the house of lords, scrutiny of the comitees and royal assent by the Monarch
Feedback
Strengths
- You have correctly identified four key and distinct stages of the law-making process: the preliminary Green Paper stage, debate in both Houses, scrutiny by committees, and the final Royal Assent.
Targets
- To achieve full marks, you should use the formal names for the stages in Parliament, such as 'Second Reading' for the main debate and 'Committee Stage' for the scrutiny. Placing them in the correct sequence would also strengthen the answer.

Feedback
Strengths
- A very strong response. You have clearly defined a coalition, correctly used the term 'hung parliament', and provided a relevant and accurate example.
- Your final point about the need for compromise is an excellent piece of analysis.
Targets
- To make your example even more precise, you could state that the Liberal Democrats formed the coalition *with the Conservative Party*. Other than that, this is a textbook answer.

Targets
- This answer contains some significant inaccuracies. The Labour party was central to the creation of the NHS and strongly supports it through public funding. The Conservative party is generally the party that advocates for lower taxes.
- To improve, you need to revise the core principles of each party. Remember: Labour = Higher taxes for public services (like the NHS). Conservatives = Lower taxes and more private enterprise.

Explain the main differences between the Conservative and Labour parties in terms of their approach to government involvement in public services and taxation.
Student's Answer
Conservatives represent low taxes and more individual stability, while this means conservatives believe you should be able to fend yourself. Labour stand for high taxes, especially more on the rich, and more collective stability meaning the government might be more generous or helpful to the public.
Feedback
Strengths
- A good answer that correctly identifies the core difference in taxation policy and links it to the underlying ideologies of 'individual stability' vs 'collective stability'.
Targets
- To get full marks, you should explicitly mention 'public services'. Explain that the 'collective stability' Labour provides is through well-funded public services (like the NHS), which are paid for by the higher taxes you mentioned. This would fully address both parts of the question.

Explain what a coalition government is and describe the circumstances under which one might be formed in the UK. Use an example to support your answer.
Student's Answer
A coalition government is when small parties come together to make a big party. This could be to gain more seats in parliment and also to get more votes in total. An example of this could be when the Labour and Lib Democrats formed a coalition government in 2016 because Conservatives had little seats in Parliament.
Feedback
Targets
- Your definition is close, but it's more accurate to say it's when two or more parties join to form a government because no single party has a majority of seats.
- The circumstance is called a 'hung parliament'.
- Your example is incorrect in several ways. The coalition was in 2010, not 2016, and it was between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. In 2016, the Conservatives were in government on their own.
Explain the main differences between the Conservative and Labour parties in terms of their approach to government involvement in public services and taxation.

Strengths
- This is a very good answer. You have clearly and accurately contrasted both parties' approaches to both taxation and public/private services.
- Your use of ideological labels ('capitalistic', 'socialist', 'right wing', 'left wing') shows a strong conceptual understanding.
Targets
- The only minor point for improvement is a typo ("wish taxes" instead of "high taxes"). The content itself is strong and covers all aspects of the question.

Student's Answer
A Coalition is where more than one parties merge their parties because it it happens when one party doesn't have enough seats to fully govern. An example of this is 2015 where the government Conservatives and Lib Dem government merged together, as the conservatives didn't have enough seats to fill out the government.
Feedback
Strengths
- You have provided a clear and accurate definition of a coalition and the circumstances under which it is formed.
Targets
- Your example is slightly inaccurate. The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition was from 2010 to 2015. In the 2015 general election, the Conservative party won an overall majority and governed alone. Using the correct date of 2010 is important for factual accuracy.
Explain the main differences between the Conservative and Labour parties in terms of their approach to government involvement in public services and taxation.

The Conservative Party wants to lower taxes. This means that less money goes to public services. However the labour Party wants nationalism, where large public companies are owned. This means that larger companies can make more money
Feedback
Targets
- You have correctly identified the Conservative policy of lower taxes and its impact on public services.
- Your point on the Labour party is slightly confused. The term you are looking for is 'nationalisation' or 'public ownership', not 'nationalism'. You also need to link this to taxation - Labour would fund these public companies and services through higher taxes on corporations and high earners.
Describe the process of how a bill becomes a law, including at least four key stages it must pass through in Parliament.
Student's Answer
Firstly for something to be recognised by partliament (a bill) you need to get 100,000 signatures from the public. Then there is a green paper, then there is the white paper where the Parliament decides wherever it can become a law. Then both the house of commons and Lords decide wherever to give permission for it to be a legal law. Then the Monarch has what is the final say.
Feedback
Targets
- You have correctly identified the Green and White paper stages and noted that the bill must pass through both Houses and get Royal Assent.
