2020 is a US Presidential election year. To coincide with the contest the Politics Society held a mock Presidential debate, a tradition that has been going as far back as 2004. The pupils were able to arrange their debate on Tuesday 3 March which of course in the US was Super Tuesday. No fewer than 14 US States held their primaries on that Tuesday, including the two most populous: California and Texas.
A crowd of 120 students, teachers and support staff from the two Habs Elstree school attended the debate at lunchtime in the school library. It covered several issues including the US economy, women’s rights, gun control, climate change, impeachment and healthcare. We would congratulate the students who took a leading role in the debate for a lunchtime of high-quality political discussion and argument. Oliver and George were the Chairs.
The following students were Presidential candidates in the debate:
Sean (L6H) as Michael Bloomberg, Former Mayor of New York
Krish (U6R) as Bernie Sanders, Senator for Vermont
Sam (U6H) as Joe Biden, 47th Vice President of the United States
Alexandra (Y11 Girls’ School) as Amy Klobuchar, Senator for Minnesota
Victoria (Y11 Girls’ School) as Elizabeth Warren, Senator for Massachusetts
Rohan (U6C) as Donald Trump, 45th and current President of the United States
