Reform vs The Greens By-Election Debate! - Whitechapel Debates

A unique debate event tackling the tough choice about to be made my thousands of voters in the upcoming Gorton & Denton By-Election
Why Are We Having This Debate?
Local Councils across the UK have been postponing there eelections for a few years now with 29 local elections expected to be postponed this year alone! The few that are going ahead have become HUGE battlegrounds for 4 major parties - The Greens, Reform, Labour and The Conservatives. Gorton and Denton like several other local councils this year will be "bell weather" tests to see where the population of the UK is sitting on the political spectrum and with both Reform and The Green Party on meteoric rises in popularity right now we think it's time to explore what these parties stand for and what it could mean for either party to win YOUR VOTE
So we ask - If you are looking outside of the UKs historic "BIG 2" parties which of Reform or The Green Party would you consider?

What We Do
3v3 panel debate where our members explore the strongest arguments for a given topic.
A debate should tell the audience what they need to know and not just what the speakers think. If you feel the same way, then we want to meet you.
Debate London is the year-round series of free public debates held weekly at venues across the capital. The series is run by Debate London, a social enterprise that helps its members to advance their personal and professional development by teaching them how to debate.
All of our speakers are Debate London members who have agreed to defend a particular perspective the audience need to hear, rather than just share their own personal opinion. After presenting the point of view assigned to them, the audience are then given the floor to cross-examine them and share their own position.
The only time we hear what the speakers really think is at the end of the debate when they tell us where they really stand and whether this changed at all while learning how to defend the perspective assigned to them.

After Debate Social
After all of our debates we have a post debate hang-out. This is a chance for our community to get to know new people, explore new ideas and generally have more fun as a club! Come along and join us for a post-debate social!
