Obviously one of my main concerns is to be objective and not influence my students with my own opinions. I thought about basing it on party political leaflets, as those could easily be brought into class, but I don't yet know how much information these would give. My students range from very basic, but who have lived in the UK for several years and probably know quite a lot about the system and the political parties to some who are more able, but know very little about British politics. Any suggestions? Rhona
