It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society.

SCT's online Forum for Debate provides a space for leading academics, campaigners and commentators to set out balanced arguments on key contemporary issues as a means of stimulating wider public debate about them.
