Two debaters argue for and against the proposition. This will be a formal debate, with the result decided by the impact of the arguments on all the Conference participants. An initial 'baseline' vote is taken at the start of the debate, and another vote is taken at the end. The winner is the side that has swayed the opinion of the Conference in their favour.
