Two monumental moments in political history took place this week - last Tuesday, US President Barack Obama was inaugurated - the first African American in history to be bestowed with that honour - and on Friday, it was announced that On That Point...'s regular contributor James Bartle had been re-elected to the UK Youth Parliament. Everyone is thrilled at the Society, and his big work load has meant that was again unable to blog for us all this week. He even missed his first debate for months!
And, looking to this week's debate, which was on sex education, you can grab the full low-down in our newsletter The Weekly Conversation; but one piece of information you can't get from that particular publication is that whilst James maintains a healthy lead on the league table, our previous holder of second place, Chris Redfearn, has freefallen to fourth. Despite winning a relatively low proportion of his debates, David Larke now occupies the second place slot, whilst TJ is up to third. Chris will be hoping to restore himself in a debate on the Church of England next week. With a bit of luck, James'll bring you news of that in On That Point... next week.
I certainly won't be here so until the next time...bye!
