If you are a Republican, why?
If you are a Democrat, why?
If you are a Green or a Libertarian, or not in a political party at all, why?
Why do you see things the way you do?
Do you think people have less tolerance today for people with different views?
Do you think we are becoming more politically polarized? Why?
We’ll have coffee and the Belfast Bay Fiddlers on hand!
