For this week's task, you must create a report on how the Conservative Party compares to the Labour Party - what are the similarities, what are the difference - to be emailed to Mr North at pjnorth@crownwoods.org.uk before Monday 17th October.
Task:
- How are the different origins of the Labour and Conservative parties reflected in their organisation?
- What is ‘Conservatism’ as an ideology?
- How has it changed over the years?
- How does it compare to Labour ideology? (which Labour ideology?)
- What are David Cameron’s top priorities?
- How does the role of the leader in the Conservative party compare to Labour?
- What are the differences in the way Conservatives choose their leader, compared to Labour?
- How does the Conservative Party select its candidates for parliament?
- Why does Central Office want so much control?
- What are the main differences between the funding of Labour and the Conservatives?
In addition to the textbook (pages 78-82, 97, 99-100), Mr North's presentation on the student area, and your class notes, there are plenty of online resources (remember, all online sources of information MUST be treated with care - who's writing it? what bias is there? is it up to date?)
