BBC News selection of political links
Richard Kimber's Political Science Resources - produced by a lecturer at Keele, these pages are a huge resource for politics students, containing hundreds of links. He includes links to pages on political theory, useful for the A2 students. You will never get to use all of these, so be discerning; for example, he includes a large number of links to American university pages and sites, which you do not need.
Links to political publications
The Spectator magazine - Online edition does not contain the full contents of the print magazine, but quite a bit of material is still readily accessible. Always worth checking out the politics column and related feature articles for an articulate right-wing view! You need to register but its free.
The New Statesman - A weekly political journal like the Spectator, above. This one is published from a left-wing standpoint, with often interesting and provovative articles. This link takes you to their home page, where you can read the introductions to this week's magazine articles, but they do not publish any of the magazine online - you either have to buy the print edition, or purchase online access.
The Daily Telegraph - the web pages of the broadsheet newspaper. Conservative viewpoint; you have to register for the full stories, but its free. Politics coverage not as well organised as the Guardian, but worth using nonetheless for gaining broader coverage.
