Introducing the Friday Debate on UK Politics

What’s it about?

We will be hosting a formal debate every week, where two volunteers debate the community’s chosen topic, which which will be voted upon by every Sunday. This gives our volunteers five days to prepare opening and closing arguments, with sufficient time to get comfortably ready to debate their opponent. After the event is over, all debaters will be bestowed the prestigious title of Friday Debate Participant as an award for your efforts in battle!

How will the debate be moderated?

Our admins will be moderating to make sure that everyone is staying civil and friendly, allowing each other time to speak your mind. We’ll be very flexible on how structured the debate, depending on whether debaters are talking over each other or the dialogue is becoming unproductive!

What’s the format?

1. Formal Introductions

2. Opening Arguments

3. Open Debate

4. Structured Q&A

5. Closing Arguments

When does this event happen?

You guessed… it’s every Friday. Feel free to come on by at 7pm to spectate as the debaters battle it out.

How do I get involved?

Message angus#4669 to become a participant of the next debate, where the debaters for the week’s event will be officially announced on Monday. Since participants will be required to hold opposing views to their debating opponent, there may be a small waiting list! We hope to hear from some of you soon :)
