Debate chamber: Are Oxford’s political party societies fit for purpose?

Oxford’s political party societies have a dual reputation. On one side of the coin, many boast long-standing histories and influential alumni, from Clement Attlee to David Cameron.

But does this reputation really disrupt the confines of what these political party societies are made for?
