The 1983 UK General Election

The 1983 election was a landslide election for Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party, which cemented Thatcher's position as an unassailable PM. What makes this election interesting is that there are so many explanations for why she won. An overlooked, but vital case study for A-Level Politics students.

    Yes, but you need to do some of your own thinking/analysis so that you can develop some argument in paragraphs, depending on what comes up.

    Do you think first passed the post is a fair way of voting. It tends to work against smaller parties getting a foothold.
