Dear debate enthusiasts! Yesterday we had a cool debate on Brexit. A new thing we tried was having the audience vote twice - once before and once after the debate. We are announcing that before the debate a large majority of the audience thought Brexit is a bad idea. However, although the majority maintained the belief until the end, the opposing side won by only one vote difference! Thus we salute both teams for having done a good job! Big thanks to Gilles Verstraeten for coming down from the EU Parliament to address the society and to the Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte - KU Leuven along with the NFK for helping us out organize the event. Stay tuned, pics are coming up soon! :)
