Evaluate the view that elections effectively promote -
democracy
Constituency link FPTP creates a strong constituency link MP Tuliq Sadiq campaigned for the
release of Nazanian
However
There are a lot of safe seats which undermines democracy as peoples voices may
not be heard in the constituency as it's the minority eg Lewes very strong
conservative
mandate FPTP provides a strong majority government which provides them a strong
mandate eg 80 seat majority for tories in 2019
However
However could be argued that this isn't always the case 2010 a coalition
government was formed this then probed undemocratic as both parties had to
compromise policies eg tuition fees

Minor parties FPTP stops minor parties getting into Parliament eg BNP has never had a seat in
west minister
However
Two party system stops minor parties eg UKIP 12.6% and 1 seat
Evaluate the view that the UK should move to a -
proportional voting system
Minority parties Proportional system would solve the problems FPTP causes and allow minor
parties a fairer chance NI stat or the fact that FPTP hindered UKIP
However this could lead to a route for extremist parties to get in
Majority governments FPTP provides a more stable government which can enforce legislation so
government can govern eg only 5/20 of the government's have been since ww2
hasn't been Labour or conservative
However
Not always the case eg 2010 coalition
Also FPTP has elements of tyranny of majority eg Labour vs con 2015 general
election was 42% Vs 40%
