Warwick Politics Society is a politically neutral student society at the University of Warwick. It is the largest society affiliated to Warwick Students' Union.[1]
The Politics Society hosts guest speakers across the political spectrum, the annual Politics Ball, and publishes Perspectives, a magazine and radio show on RAW 1251AM.
The society was well known for creating the Last Seven Days (L7D) discussion group format, where participants would discuss the news of the previous week.
History
[edit]Warwick Politics Society was founded in December 1967, two years into the establishment of the University of Warwick. The original aims were to host events for students with an interest in politics regardless of academic discipline, attracting high profile guest speakers.[2]
The society has ceased to function several times since it was founded. In 1971 the society was de-recognised[3] only to return a few years later[4]. Without an active membership, it was suspended during the late 1980s and reconstituted in 1992.[5] The society closed again in the late 1990s and was revived as the Polis, latterly reverting to the original name Warwick Politics Society in 2004.
