International and National Politics resources

[jess3254]

For the few people who are doing politics out there, I've gathered some resources for National and International Politics. Please feel free to add links/ tell me if a link is not relevant (or bad.)
At the moment it's a bit messy, but I'll improve and expand it shortly. Hopefully this will be a good starting point and people will find the links useful.

Some of this may also be useful for International Studies, however I'm not sure
