I'd say that Labour parties would want taxation to be more light Whereas Conservative wouldn't.
For example paying debts. Pass through courts / high court etc. It can become a law as maybe if it wasn't people would take advantage of that and not pay for alot of thing they're meant to pay for.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is not relevant to the question. It does not describe the process of how a bill passes through Parliament to become a law.
The two parliaments join together to make one new government. The advantage is that they could be a strong parliament and the disadvantage is that one parliament can easily turn on the other.
Mark: 0/4
The definition provided is incorrect; a coalition involves two or more parties, not "two parliaments." The answer does not describe the circumstances or provide an example.
the consertative party wants to lower tax like healtcare cost. the labour party want to raise taxes and make it so people who are unable to work can live on Benifits
Mark: 3/4
A good answer. You correctly identify the core difference in taxation policy and provide a valid reason for Labour's approach (funding benefits), creating one fully developed point. A second developed point was needed for full marks.
A law/Bill Starts as it is persed in the HoC. it then has to pass os commons then eventuelly the hase of lords where it may be changed or alter. this is called the siving preccess.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified two key stages: the bill's passage through the House of Commons and then the House of Lords. To get more marks, you needed to identify at least two more stages, such as the Readings or Royal Assent.
A Coalition gouvement is when two partys get together and form a govement almost like a partnership. the last Coalition govement in the UK was in 2011 it evensially collapsed and didnt last long
Mark: 2/4
You provide a good definition and a correct, if slightly misdated, example. To improve, you needed to clearly state the *circumstance* under which a coalition is formed (i.e., a 'hung parliament' where no single party wins a majority).
Labour usually taxes Alot much more than conservative, this is to help fund public services more efficiently however with conservatives they dont seem to pay much attention towrds funding towards public services.
Mark: 2/4
You have made one well-developed point, correctly identifying that Labour favours higher taxes to fund public services and contrasting this with the Conservative approach. To get full marks, you needed to add a second, distinct point of comparison.
usually if a request gets alot of petitions it goes on to Parliament, it is discussed about it, then is passed down and goes through checks and then it would be decided of its aprovel.
Mark: 1/4
This answer is very generic. It mentions that a bill is "discussed" in Parliament, which can be credited as one stage. However, it lacks the specific terminology (e.g., Readings, Committee Stage) and the other three required stages for a higher mark.
An coalation goverment is an democratic based party with less extremist views, An example is that the labour government where planning to form one.
Mark: 0/4
The definition provided is incorrect, and the example is both vague and factually inaccurate. No marks can be awarded for this response.
Conservative Porkies are different to Labour Parties because Labour Parties beleive they should be higher taxation for the Public whereas Conservative beleive there should be lower taxation.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified the fundamental difference in the two parties' approaches to taxation. Two basic points have been made. To improve, you needed to develop these points with explanations (e.g., *why* they hold these beliefs).
bill becomes law due to a MP bringing up a vote through an election. to run a white paper for ideas then they use green papers which is used to pass it through parliament.
Mark: 2/4
You correctly identify two pre-parliamentary stages, the White Paper and Green Paper. The rest of the answer is confused about how a bill is initiated. Two marks are awarded for the correct identification of these documents.
A Coalition government is one where they win the majority of votes. In a Coalition government it can be difficult to pass laws as party values might need to be compromised. A Coalition government which was formed in the UK was Conservative.
Mark: 0/4
This answer contains several inaccuracies. A coalition is formed when no party *wins* a majority. The example given ("was Conservative") is incomplete and incorrect as a coalition requires more than one party. No marks can be awarded.
One main difference is Conservative parties get a bigger majority in vozes than Labour Parties. Another difference is they have different opinions when in comes to the public or taxes, for example one party may think taxes should be raised and one party may disagree.
Mark: 0/4
The first point about election results is not a difference in approach or policy. The second point is too generic; it states that the parties have "different opinions" without explaining what those different opinions are. No marks can be awarded.
The first stage There are different stages such as green paper, white paper and the royal accent. These are stages laws have to go through before being passed through in parliament and actually becoming a law.
Mark: 3/4
You have correctly listed three distinct and important stages in the legislative process. To achieve the final mark, you needed to identify one more stage, such as the First or Second Reading.
A coalition government is a government that merges with another. These coalition governments can be formed by different types of voting systems. For example a weakness for proportional representation (PR) are coalition governments.
Mark: 0/4
This answer does not provide a clear definition, does not explain the specific circumstances in the UK (a hung parliament), and does not provide a UK-based example. The comments on PR are relevant but don't answer the question asked.
The main differences between conservative and labour is that conservative believes labour has values of taxing the rich, being a socialist trying to distribute wealth to everyone and being a socialise society where as conservative is that believes that everyone should work for them selves and have lower taxes
Mark: 3/4
A good answer that identifies the key ideological differences. You correctly explain Labour's socialist approach to wealth distribution and the Conservative focus on self-reliance and lower taxes. One point is well-developed.
The process of how a bill pass becomes a law is that it goes through a green and white paper and the white paper is where nough ideas come through and then there is
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified two important pre-parliamentary stages: the Green Paper and the White Paper. However, the answer is incomplete and does not describe at least four stages in total.
A coalition government is where two or more parties joined together due to the voter turn out. an example is
Mark: 1/4
You provide a basic definition of a coalition. However, the reason given ("due to the voter turn out") is too vague, and you have not provided the required example.
the conseruanues and labour the a different labour work the workers and conseruahus keeps tax less so people can have more money
Mark: 1/4
You have made one clear point correctly identifying that Conservatives favour lower taxes. The rest of the answer is unclear and does not accurately describe the Labour party's position.
now the excecutive does not prose all new laws. Private members Bills are introduced by members of house of lords or the house of commons who are not member the gouernment they can be eiruen house ongo through the same law making stages. Howsup if unsupported by government they are unlikely to become law
Mark: 0/4
This answer describes what a Private Member's Bill is but does not describe the actual stages a bill must go through to become law (e.g., First Reading, Second Reading, Committee Stage, etc.). Therefore, no marks can be awarded.
if a party does not win a parliament majority it is know as a hung parliament. The party with the most seats may form a coalition government with the support of another political party. Coalition government can mean it is more difficult to pass laws as party wants majority to be able to pass law
Mark: 3/4
A very good answer that clearly defines a coalition and explains the circumstance of a hung parliament. You also make a valid point about the difficulties they face. The only element missing for full marks is a specific, real-world example.
The differences between the two parties is the labour government believes in reducing taxes and the believes that all national services should be free. On the other hand the conservatives believe in lower taxes and the privatisation of national services.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified two key Conservative policies: lower taxes and privatisation. However, your description of the Labour party's stance is contradictory and incorrect, as they generally advocate for higher taxes to fund services.
First when it is drafted up it is called the green paper. Then when it has been more thought about and redrafted in parliment it goes to white paper. From there it is passed to judicial revey to ensure no human rights are broken. Then it is finally passed onto the monarch for royal ascent.
Mark: 3/4
You have correctly identified three key stages: the Green Paper, the White Paper, and Royal Assent. The mention of judicial review is not a formal stage in the legislative process itself. A good answer that needed one more formal stage for full marks.
A Coalition government is when no singular party has the majority of seats in parliment. So two of the majority parties join together to form a coalition government. They decide on rules together and vote the country as one entity. A example would be the coalition government in 2015 with conservatives and liberal democrats.
Mark: 2/4
You provide a clear definition and correctly explain the circumstance of no single party having a majority. However, your example is incorrect; there was no coalition government in 2015. The Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition was in 2010.
The word labour stands for work and their values that they uphold is taxing the wealthy more compared to the poor to help fund public services such as the NHS etc. The Labour is also a left wing party meaning they belive in socialism and equality. However conservative hold very different views and believe that taxing the rich is not a good thing. They believe instead they should spend on public services such as the NHS privately instead. Conservative is also more right winged and belive more in capitalism
Mark: 4/4
An outstanding answer. You have provided two distinct, well-developed points, contrasting the parties' approaches to taxation and the funding of public services. You have also correctly linked these policy differences to the underlying ideologies of socialism and capitalism. Excellent.
When a bill is first made it must go through multiple key stages, four of them being the green paper, white paper, silver paper and royal's assent. ... At first the bill must fly through the white paper in which the house of common discuss the bill and vote on whether it should be passed (needs a majority) after this stage is the green paper where the same process is went through but in the house of lords. ... The final one is the royal assent where the king gives the bill to become a law.
Mark: 3/4
This answer is detailed but confused. You have correctly identified several key stages, including debate in the Commons, scrutiny in the Lords, and Royal Assent. However, you misidentify the order of Green and White papers and invent a "silver paper." Three valid stages are clearly described.
A Coalition government is a government with two political parties due to no specific party getting a majority of votes. The last time this happened was in 2010 when Conservative won the election but didn't have a majority of seats leading to the splitting a coalition government with the liberal democrats. This led to the liberal democrats becoming very unpopular.
Mark: 4/4
A perfect answer. You give a concise definition, correctly state the circumstance (no overall majority), and provide a detailed and accurate example from 2010. The additional comment about the political consequences for the Liberal Democrats shows excellent contextual knowledge.
The laubour party beleive it's better to help people in need and the best way to do that is high take's. whereas the conservative party beleive it's better that people are more self reliant and that taxse's shouldnt be so high
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer that provides two fully developed and well-contrasted points. You have clearly explained the ideological link between each party's view on welfare (helping people vs. self-reliance) and their corresponding tax policy. Superb.
A bill becomes law by starting of a green paper all the problems or possible loopholes are analysed after this it goes to a white where it goes through the same process until it's perfect and then it goes through royal acent.
Mark: 3/4
You have correctly identified three key stages in the creation of a law: the Green Paper, the White Paper, and Royal Assent. This shows a good understanding. To get the final mark, one more parliamentary stage (like Second Reading) was needed.
A Golition government is when two or more party fail to gain a majority of votes which lead's to two parte's running the country together. For example if Labour and Conservative fail to gain a majority it might lead to a Goallihon an example of a Colliten Govermnt in the UK was Conservative and the lible democra
Mark: 4/4
A very strong answer. You combine the definition and circumstance clearly, explain what a coalition does, and provide a perfect, specific example of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. This meets all the requirements of the question.
The Labour party is a more left wing party that has opinions like allowing immigrants in the country, whereas Conservatives are more right wing and believes in increasing tax.
Mark: 0/4
This answer is factually incorrect. It wrongly states that the Conservatives believe in *increasing* tax, and the point about immigration is not relevant to the question asked about public services and taxation.
A law is first suggested in the hours of commons where it gous through a draft...it then gets put on green paper which is sent to the house of lords to edit which then becomes wite paper. Finally, it is sent up to the Monarch (royal assent) who has to accept. it is a formality.
Mark: 4/4
An excellent and highly detailed answer. You have correctly identified five distinct stages of the legislative process in the correct order, demonstrating a thorough and accurate understanding. Well done.
A Coalition government is the combination of 2 or more parties coming together under one new party. For example, in 2010 a coalition government was formed with Jeremy Corbyn leading the parties. normally do this to try gain more votes and seats in parliament. This is because the supporters of the parties can come together to support the coalition.
Mark: 1/4
This answer correctly identifies the circumstance for a coalition (to "gain more votes and seats"). However, the definition is incorrect (parties do not form "one new party") and the example is factually wrong (Jeremy Corbyn was not involved in the 2010 coalition).
One of the main differences between the conservative and labour parties when it come to the approach with public services and taxation labour belives that the rich should pay more tax than the poor a whilst Conservative belive that everyone should pay the same amoint.
Mark: 1/4
You have correctly identified the Labour party's position on progressive taxation. However, the description of the Conservative position is inaccurate; they do not advocate for a flat tax where "everyone should pay the same amount."
A bill goes through many stages before becoming first a written up by ither judges or mps then is sent to parliment. what they do is look for all the flaws of the law then send it back for them you to to rewrite it after the law has no flaw is sent the royalty that will allow the law.
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified two valid parts of the process: scrutiny in Parliament and Royal Assent ("sent the royalty"). To improve, you needed to use more formal terminology and identify at least two other distinct stages.

Mark: 0/4
The answer provided is incomplete and does not define a coalition government or provide any of the required information.
one difference between the conservatives and labour is tax. Conservative believe in lowering tax. However labour increase tax for the rich. Labour wants to increase tax on things like gambling and tabaco. And But they increase benesies for people.
Mark: 3/4
A good answer. You correctly identify the differing views on taxation, providing the specific example of Labour's policy to tax the rich, and you correctly link this to the provision of benefits. This represents one fully developed point and one basic point.
First is called the white paper which is just an idea that will be critisised by parliment. Then its the green paper which is a more refined idea that might be accepted. Then the blue paper where is pariment thinks it could that idea can become a policie or law.
Mark: 1/4
This answer is very confused. It has the order of White and Green papers reversed and invents a "blue paper." One mark is awarded for correctly identifying the general stage of a bill being "critisised by parliment."
Firstly a coalition is when two elected party's join to pass laws together. This could happen in the uk if the the elected partys accured the same amount of vote. There has been one and it was described as kaos.
Mark: 1/4
You provide a basic definition of a coalition. However, the circumstance described ("same amount of vote") is not quite accurate, and the example ("There has been one") is too vague to be credited.
The labour parts are a more left wing party in contrast to the conservatives who are more right wing. Left wing parties are more aligned to the idea that rich people should pay more tax. and whereas the conservative party belive everybody should pay the same amount of tax and most public services should be charged which labour do not
Mark: 2/4
You have made two valid points: Labour's preference for higher taxes on the rich and the Conservative's greater willingness to charge for public services. However, the statement that Conservatives believe everyone should pay the same amount of tax is incorrect.
A Bill becomes a law as it first has to pass through the Green Paper where it is decided if the law is suitable or not. Then the law is checked in the white paper to see if it is ok to be passed on to the next stage
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified and explained two key pre-parliamentary stages: the Green Paper and the White Paper. To gain more marks, you needed to include at least two more stages from the formal parliamentary process.
A coalition government is when two parties join together to give themselves the majority of the votes. A problem with this is that this could cause dispute in government as the two parties views may not align. Also the two parties can have different manifesto promises which can cause dispute. An example of this would be in 2010 where a coalition government was made and it failed
Mark: 4/4
An excellent answer. You provide a clear definition and circumstance, a correct example from 2010, and offer a well-developed explanation of the inherent problems within a coalition, such as differing views and manifesto promises. This shows outstanding understanding.
one belive labour is about help the poor people in society that everyone should be pay different depending on social in care and conseruae is the voice for the rich people this left and right side of parliment
Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified the basic ideological split between the two parties, with Labour focusing on the poor and the Conservatives on the rich. To get more marks, these points needed to be developed with explanations related to specific policies on tax or public services.

Mark: 0/4
This answer is very difficult to understand and does not clearly identify any of the formal stages of the legislative process. While it mentions "parliment", "vete", and "lord", the context is too incoherent to award marks.

Mark: 2/4
You have correctly identified the circumstance for a coalition (no majority) and provided a valid example (Conservative and Liberal Democrats). To improve, a clearer definition of what a coalition government *is* was needed.

Mark: 3/4
You have correctly identified three important stages in the legislative process: Royal Assent, the House of Lords scrutiny, and the House of Commons. To achieve the final mark, you needed to include one more distinct stage.
When 2 or more political parties govern together because no single party won a majority. this is good because they have members in their own hands which was bad up. having benefit and however some may not be opposition benefinn.
Mark: 2/4
You provide a perfect definition and correctly state the circumstance. The answer is very strong in this regard. However, it is missing a specific, real-world example as requested by the question.
one difference between the conservative and labour parties, is that conservatives believes on taxing the rich. This may be inorder to increase government revenue and perhaps it may relieve the working and lower classes more. Another Difference between the conservative and labour is that labour believes in the idea of more public service. This may be to allow people to get to work quicker and less co2 emission from cars.
Mark: 1/4
This answer incorrectly states the Conservative position on taxing the rich. You have, however, made one valid point about Labour's belief in providing more public services. The explanation about CO2 emissions is somewhat confused.
In order for a bill to become a law, you would have to write down ideas on a white paper, this will then be sent to parliament for questioning & evaluation. after the discussion it becomes a green paper and gets sent back to parliament for more analysis. After that, it gets sent to House of Lords where they look for mistakes; if they find mistakes it gets sent back to house of commons. The monarch will then give us signature (Royal assent) for it to become a law
Mark: 4/4
A detailed answer that identifies multiple correct stages. Although you have reversed the typical order of the Green and White Papers, you have clearly identified at least four distinct stages: White Paper, Parliamentary questioning, House of Lords scrutiny, and Royal Assent. Well done.
A coalition government is where two parties form a governmen if neither can gain a majority; this is often common in proportional representation as your vote is porpotional to the share of seats. I know this is true as the uk in 2010 the two biggest parties, liberal & conservative had to form a coalition government as neither of them could gain a majority. A key thing to remember is that coalition governments leads to slow decision making perhaps the two parties have opposing views.
Mark: 4/4
This is a perfect answer. It provides a clear definition, the correct circumstance (no majority), a fully detailed and accurate example, and adds extra insightful commentary on proportional representation and the challenges of coalition governance. Superb.
Examiner's Comments
