Should FPTP continue to be used for elections to the House of Commons? The first reason why FPTP should continue to be used for elections in the House of Commons is because it allows the public to hold their representatives accountable. This is seen as beneficial as it means that the government and members of parliament cannot just act in any way it wants. Without being able to hold representatives accountable‚ it undermines the whole system of democracy as the people cannot hold representatives

The United Kingdom’s electoral system is the single-member district plurality voting system. It is part of the British political culture and consequently predominately used in the UK as well as former British colonies‚ e.g. the United States‚ Canada‚ Nigeria‚ and India (Electoral-Reforms.org.uk‚ n.d.). However‚ throughout the past decades‚ criticism of the system especially in the United Kingdom has become more substantial and focused. The plurality system is considered an effective and simple voting

AP Biology II 11/22/13 Title: The Effects of Surface Area to Volume ratio in Agar Introduction: What is an efficient way to maximize mass but minimize diffusion time in cell? Answer: An efficient way to maximize mass but minimize diffusion time in a cell is to increase its surface area. If you increase the surface area of a cell relatively to its volume‚ then the diffusion time will decrease. Materials: Agar cubes‚ bromothymol blue- pH indicator‚ vinegar‚ ruler‚ spatula‚ beaker

DEN 302 Applied Aerodynamics SURFACE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS ON AN AEROFOIL IN TRANSONIC FLOW Abstract The objective of this exercise is to measure the pressure distribution across the surface on an aerofoil in a wind tunnel. The aerofoil is tested under several different Mach numbers from subsonic to supercritical. The purpose of measuring the pressure distributions is to assess the validity of the Prandtl-Glauert law and to discuss the changing chracteristics of the flow as the Mach number increases

How does varying the surface area to volume ratio (2.0046: 1‚ 1.4923: 1‚ 0.9425: 1‚ 0.6480:1‚ 0.5970:1) affect the amount of heat lost over a period of 6 minutes of 50cm3 water with a temperature above 50? b. Prediction and Hypothesis. Make a prediction about what you expect to be the outcome. Explain your prediction using scientific ideas. I predict that the bigger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the lesser the heat will be lost. And the smaller the surface area to volume ratio the

The title of the poem‚ the words that rise to the surface‚ is indicative not only of the sentiment of anti-apartheid people living in South Africa but the manner in which the emotions and feelings of these people manifested themselves. Slowly‚ with the imagined metaphor of bubbles that start in a kettle slow and steady at first with furious energy as both the poem and water reach boiling point. The context of the poem sheds light on the intention of the author written in 1985 when the apartheid

Electoral Systems and Stability in Divided Societies Introduction Severely divided countries pose a particular problem when it comes to securing democratic stability. Such countries are characterised by deep cleavages representing ‘sociocultural and ascriptive traits‚ such as race‚ ethnicity‚ language‚ religion or region’ (Bogaards‚ 2003‚ p. 59). Other forms of social division‚ which focus on wider issues‚ do not diffuse the strength of these cleavages‚ making them particularly entrenched.

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which
