Dundee has been without a Conservative society since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As students, this gap has left many of us without a platform to freely express our political beliefs, meet like-minded individuals, and participate in constructive discussions on conservative values. It’s beyond time that we reignite the initiative to establish the “Dundee University Conservatives” society to foster a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds.

The re-establishment of the Dundee University Conservatives society will serve as a beacon for those interested in discussing and advocating for conservative principles on campus. With Dundee University being a vibrant spot for diverse viewpoints, having a formal society will enhance the political discourse and enrich the student community. This society aims to create a safe space where students can engage in debates, organize events, and bring influential conservative voices to the university, providing a holistic educational experience beyond academic learning.

The presence of a Conservative society is crucial not only for personal and professional development but also for upholding democratic values within our academic institution. Data from the Higher Education Policy Institute indicates that exposure to various political ideologies during university years contributes significantly to civic engagement post-graduation. Therefore, re-establishing this society will benefit not just current students, but also the wider community of future graduates and leaders.

We need your support to make this vision a reality. Signing this petition will advocate for the formal reintroduction of the Dundee University Conservatives society, ensuring our campus continues to be an inclusive and stimulating environment for all students eager to explore conservative politics. Join us in calling on the university administration to recognize and support our right to free assembly and expression.

Let’s work together to bring back the Dundee University Conservatives and revive the thrilling political discussions that contribute to a well-rounded university experience. Sign this petition to show your support today!
