It had to be pointed out to me as well!


Maybe when we eventually get welcome packs it will tell us to do it?

Awesome, I think they only had a couple of places left but I get the impression they created more. What grades did you get in the end? :biggrin:

I don't really follow party politics in precise detail; I'm more into political philosophy. I am centre-right politically, so I'm a bit of a red Tory, or blue Labour supporter if you get what I mean.

I'm quite self-contained when it comes to politics; I think if you're going to do something, you have to do it really well. Sometimes I feel overcome by the stress of political philosophy: why is inequality fair? Yet at other times, I feel totally opposed to the idea of distributive justice.

What political society do you believe I should consider joining, based on my philosophical ambivalence?

I'd still suggest that you give the Labour club a go. I attended the youth conference last year, and there's a massive range of differences in opinion on ideologies and philosophy. I can remember that there was one guy who actually supported the Republican party and believed strongly in private education, all the way down to a sizeable (and very vocal) communist faction, so it's a wide church in that respect. Merely joining a club doesn't necessarily infer anything, I believe Ed Balls joined the Conservative association in Oxford just for the speakers. I would've said the Lib Dem club, but I imagine its relatively small, especially now.


There are also from what I gather just normal debating societies which I'd imagine debate that kind of stuff and of course then there's the politics society which will be good to meet like minded people anyway
