Politics is broken, over 40% of people didn't vote in the 2024 General election, more people than voted for the winning party. People are disillusioned, we don't trust our elected officials and often don't even believe the media to give us honest news. There is no easy solution to this, change must be bottom up from normal people and the first step is for normal people to be able to talk. Pub Politics is there to offer that first step, to talk uncensored, to find common ground with our neighbours who far more often share our views than either side of the political divide. If that ends at a good chat, thats fine but it is my hope that it opens the door for more. Information Source: Pub Politcs | eventbrite
