Iain Duncan Smith MP Inspire Aspire Talk 7 Dec 2018

The Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP for Chingford and Woodford Green participated in a Q&A session with our Year 12 and 13 Economics, Government & Politics, Health & Social Care and Sociology students on 07/12/2018. Some of the topics covered included:

Mr Duncan Smith's views on:

  • Views on Brexit
  • Theresa May's leadership difficulties
  • How to tackle increasing crime levels in the UK
  • Voting systems - proportional representation
  • The rise and impact of the Far Right
  • Persistent poverty in the UK
  • Same sex marriages
  • What is the best forum to present political views (other than Question Time)?
  • Working Tax Credits

Students commented on how informative they found the session with a real insight offered into the world of politics and also on how politicians address the concerns of their constituents.

We thank Mr Duncan Smith for making the time to come in to visit us especially in light of upcoming parliamentary events (Brexit vote on Tuesday 11/12/2018).
