Was Robert Peel pragmatic with his approach to the Irish Problem? How far do you agree

I would focus entirely upon essay answer structure as I had very good structure during my studies. If you have good essay structure, your grade will be incredibly good as the examiner believes you to be knowledgeable and they assume you know your 'stuff'. each examiner makes their mind up about you and what grade you're sort of working at just by how you write.
I would answer this question in a 3 line-of-argument method. A simple 'yes' or 'no' answer isn't sufficient in this essay to get a high grade at A Levels.You must have a interesting and unique appraoch to answering.Such as, LOA 1: Yes, he was said to be pragmatic, because of this.. You can then anaylse the ways in which Peel was pragmatic through thematic analysis.Then, LOA 2: However, there is chance to say that he wasn't so pragmatic.. etc. + Thematic analysis of other evidence he was not pragmatic.Then. LOA 3: this is where you would show your academic flare. I would turn the question on it's head and take a different viewpoint on Robert Peel's level of pragmatism. i.e, Robert Peel was indeed pragmatic, but the reasons for so were for personal politic upheaval. etc etc.
