Political parties in the USA

Simon Lemieux guides you through two exam-style questions to accompany his article on pp. 6–8

‘Parties dominate the political systems in both the USA and the UK.’ Analyse and evaluate this statement. (25 marks)

Identify what the key themes might be for this essay when planning it and ensure that every paragraph contains examples and evidence from both the UK and the USA. Arguably the ‘big conclusion’ is that, while parties certainly dominate in the UK, the situation is more complicated and nuanced in the USA, where pressure groups, rich individual donors and the courts also play key roles. The essay will require you to make synoptic links which should occur naturally.
