Who represents you?

  • This week I will be getting you to research your local MP.
  • This is a core part of the course. Both the topic and the skills.
  • Hopefully you all have a different local MP, though many of you might have Bob Stewart who is the Conservative MP for Beckenham which is the constituency in which the school and the surrounding area belong.
  • If so, then so be it. He is quite an interesting character! You will hopefully get to meet him when we visit the houses of parliament. Fingers crossed they resume next year.

Plan:

  • Use the links at the bottom of this page to help you find information.
  • 3 powerpoint slides maximum: Background e.g. education, job, etc.; Views i.e. this will mostly be associated with which party do they belong to but may include tax rises; military spending; anti or pro-China; etc. And miscellaneous i.e. anything else that you think might be relevant.
