New Battle - The Right v The Left

[TrueBlue]

Came up with an idea last night for the battle to end all political battles on here..

Right Wing v Left Wing

Format : Each side has 11 players you pick one historical politcal figure aligned with your own view right or left

Example: TrueBlue - Right wing - Enoch Powell

once the teams are sorted on each side I then draw one on ones against the opposite team and the player has to plead the case for their representitve

Which players on each side win their matches will determin the result.


I will start....

Trueblue -Right Wing - Enoch Powell

Cracking shout. :thumbsup:

"In February 1975 Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of the British Conservative Party. The Institute of Economic Affairs arranged a meeting between Hayek and Thatcher in London soon after. During Thatcher's only visit to the Conservative Research Department in the summer of 1975, a speaker had prepared a paper on why the "middle way" was the pragmatic path the Conservative Party should take, avoiding the extremes of left and right. Before he had finished, Thatcher "reached into her briefcase and took out a book. It was Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty. Interrupting our pragmatist, she held the book up for all of us to see. 'This', she said sternly, 'is what we believe', and banged Hayek down on the table"
