About us:

We are interested in all things politics, and we aim to offer the students of Essex a safe and inclusive place to participate in political discussions, debates, and social events.

Our events:

Above all else, we want our members to enjoy an informal and sociable experience with us and try to offer activities and events accordingly.

All events take place on Thursday evenings and this year include but are not limited to:

• Liquor and Legislation - Our longest running and most popular event. The society becomes parliament for a day and debates legislation (Lots of gavel banging!)
• Group discussions - Often a great way to interact with other members of the society, this event encourages members to discuss their views on the topics
• Debates
• Socials at Top Bar and SU Bar
• Cross party and society events
• Guest Talks
• and potentially a society trip to the House of Commons.

Times and locations of events will be posted on our social media, there is also our "Get Notified!" Whatsapp group chat that will keep you up to date on all events.

Aims:

-To discuss and debate politics from all around the globe as well as from the UK

-To further educate our members on political issues and topics they may not be aware of

-To engage and to increase the interest of students in the subject of politics

-To spread awareness and interest in campus politics.
