dc.description.abstract | This paper shows how a debate conducted in the Oxford Union, the leading student
debating society in Britain, was used to make a point about representation and politics
in the national press, and what it means in terms of political action and who can be
considered to make political arguments. In 1933 the Union debated a motion ‘That
this House under no circumstances will fight for its King and Country’. It was carried
by a clear margin, and the scandal it caused put the role of the Union and what it
represented into question. It is here argued that there were two rhetorical levels in
operation, rhetoric of representation and rhetoric of debate. With the former, the
Union was blamed in the national press for lacking the representative qualities it was
assumed to have, and with the latter, its rules and traditions were defended as part of
the functions of a political assembly. | |
