Has the cult of personality usurped politics in determining the outcome of elections?
UBC Okanagan students will debate the issue Thursday evening at Kelowna's Mary Irwin Theatre.
"The Donald is in the White House, and people are wondering: has the political world been colonized by celebrity culture?" UBC says in an email promoting the event.
Students, faculty and the public are invited to watch the fourth annual Roger Watts Advocacy Debates.
Debaters will be judged by a panel of community judges, and a prize of $1,000 will be awarded for first place, with $500 for the runners-up.
The event runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and is free to attend.
The debates are named after the late Roger Watts, a respected member of the Okanagan’s legal community.
