A debate meeting that will feature two teams, one Proposing the motion and one Opposing it.

As we are gearing up to a General Election in the UK, the topic will be the British election system, First Past The Post (FPTP), and whether this is fit for purpose. Is it democratic enough? If not, is that perhaps a good thing? Too much democracy can be a bad thing, perhaps.

For background, see what election experts in UK Engange has to say about it in this article on their website:

"First past the post or FPTP, also known as Simple Majority Voting, Winner-takes-all voting or Plurality voting is the most basic form of voting system. In its simplest form, under FPTP, voting takes place in single-member constituencies. Voters put a cross in a box next to their favoured candidate, and the candidate who gathers the most votes in the constituency or other electoral area wins the election. All other votes count for nothing. FPTP is clear, simple and decisive in the majority of cases, but many would argue that it is anything but a representative voting system."

At the end of each debate you decide who won the argument.

At the end of the evening, you also get to vote for your favourite speaker overall.
