Annual No Confidence Debate at Dartmouth House
Some of Britain's brightest young political minds came together at the ESU Headquarters on Wednesday 4 April for the Dartmouth House Debating Society's annual No Confidence debate, where Suella Fernandes, a barrister and former Chair of the Cambridge University Conservative Association, and Mark Gettleson, Chair of the Liberal Democrat Youth & Students proposed the motion "This House has no confidence in Her Majesty's government." Defending the status quo were Tom Hamilton, a former World University Debating Championships Finalist and Labour Party Member, and Stephen Longden, Campaigns and Membership Officer at Labour Students.
Several insightful and impassioned floor speeches followed the debate, and after summations from Tom and Suella, the audience voted, with the majority supporting the motion.
The Centre for Speech and Debate would like to thank each of the speakers for giving up their valuable time to participate.
The next session of debates will start with the Shakespeare debate on Wednesday 3 October.
