Voting Issues

In last day's class we examined the specifics of the voting process, as political parties attempt to gain power in parliament.   We discussed the stages of the election process including:

• Dissolving parliament
• Campaigning
• Voting/Balloting
• Tabulating the Votes  

We discussed minority vs. majority governments and how to calculate them, and reviewed the ideological spectrum.  We also talked about the levels of government and studied specific vocab words that would help us understand the organization of parliament.  Next day we will continue on studying the structure of the government and move on to how politicians pass a law. 

Next Day:  Quiz ~ Ideology and Political Spectrum, Political Parties, the Election Process including important vocab (electoral riding, and calculation of majority & minority leaders
Answers to MC review:   D, D, B, C, D, D  & the answers to the matching are outside my classroom, or in the notes and text.  Good luck!
