If you ‘win’ arguments by shouting loudest and longest, or shifting the goalposts, you will not succeed at debating. It’s also fun… honest!
We are an impartial group dedicated to promoting the discussion of issues and ideas. Debating is about challenging current ‘wisdom’, existing ideas, beliefs and preconceptions. Debating is not about intensifying or cementing your beliefs, or necessarily changing them. It’s about challenging all opinions through reasoned argument, in a format where you never get to pick your ‘side’. Not ones to shy
