VI Form Trip to a Politics Conference

A group of VI Form girls travelled to Westminster Central Hall to attend a conference on the future of Coalition Politics.

The group heard from John Bercow (Speaker, House of Commons),  Sir George Young (Leader, House of Commons), Simon Hughes (Deputy Leader, Liberal Democrats), Tim Farron (Party President, Liberal Democrats), Tony Benn (Labour), David Blunkett (Labour), Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru) and Nigel Farage (UKIP).

The speakers were excellent, and provided much material for discussion, as did some of the somewhat forthright questions from the floor!
