Café Inquiry (ONLINE) - Political Parties

American political parties have been very busy lately. Party allegiance plays a huge role in our politics, yet the functioning of parties varies throughout the world. A “liberal” party could be right wing in one country and left wing in another. And the number of political parties a country has ranges widely, from zero in several places to more than 2500 in India. At the next Café Inquiry Online (shortly before our upcoming election), we will talk about…political parties. We’ll post some links to background material here a few days before the meeting. See you there!

Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public.

Donations appreciated, but not expected.

Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.

Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday.
