We initially started by looking into news stories online individually about the UK and world economy. We found some interesting current stories which included the issues happening with the Greek economy and Europe. Also we noticed that the general election is soon so this could be a possibility to work on as well as the laws on immigration currently as this seems to be commonly spoken about in the news. After looking individually we found that the most reasonable one to complete would be to look into the election so therefore we split up to look at the different parties.
Our group:
Taylor Pycroft
Jessica Johnson
Rosalyn Halford
Melissa Morris
Lucy Stronach
Abbie Moakes
Rebecca Kelly
