**** A Grade Level Resource Perfect for revision or learning for the first time. In depth fact files on the 1979, 1997 and 2017 General Elections. Students are required to know the 1997 General Election, so this is a very useful resource. They cover background context (Why was an election called?), voter turnout and split, how the campaign was ran (leadership, policy and image), voting behaviour (focusing on age, gender and class) and the media. They are so useful as they give you insight into the four topics (Political Parties, Voting Behaviour and the Media, Electoral systems and Democracy and Participation). They are extremely detailed so work brilliantly giving you specific knowledge as well as being covering all topics.

One slide PowerPoint with animations showing parties, leaders and main policies with animations. Also a link to bbc video on what a general election is. Useful for assemblies or tutor time.
