The first ever Conservative “Question Time” is to take place this Friday at the UEA, giving students the chance to grill representatives from the local party and the wider conservative movement.
The event, organised by the UEA Conservatives, will see a group of centre right speakers taking questions from students on a wide range of subjects, such as local government, taxation, freedom of speech and higher education.
Councillor Antony Little, Conservative Parliamentary spokesman for Norwich South, will also be on the panel.
Cllr Little said: “Hopefully the event will act as an introduction to the many perspectives of right of centre thinking as well as providing a forum for passionate debate for students at UEA.
“Students will also be shown the different ways they can get involved in politics, such as standing in local elections, blogging or campaigning on a particular issue.”
Speakers include Tim Aker (Taxpayers’ Alliance), Patrick Sullivan (Conservative Future Campaigns Director) and Edward Hallam (Young Conservative Blog). The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
