Use the excerpt to answer the question.
“Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses—he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression. . . . There is no presidential term limit here [Belarus] and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko’s power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.”

16 I would pick British economy because it was the first country to industrialize and its economy relies on research, innovation, and financial services. They have a really strong market orientation for their mixed economy. There are some private ownerships of industries and people pay some university cost. I would also pick British because it was on the allies team in World War 2.
17 Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy while Germany is a parlimentary democracy. Britain has a king or queen as the symbol of head of state while Germany has presedent as head of state. They are both democratic with a two house legislation. They also have a balance of power and a head of goverment.
18 One reason a country would want to be in the EU because of free trade between members and a common currency.One reason a country would not want to join the EU because EU officials are not elected, so they dont always represent everyone.
19 Immigration has caused controversy in the recent years because Immigrations often have less education and because of the lack of housing and funding of healthcare.
