Moral dilemmas facing politicians

Having opposed the invasion of Iraq and the renewal of the Trident programme under the Blair government,

Alan Whitehead, MP for Southampton Test, is well placed to talk about the conflicts that can arise between party loyalty and personal conviction. He now serves a party of the same name but with a very different complexion as a shadow minister of energy and climate change — in recognition, no doubt, of his strong commitment to renewable energy. As usual there will be ample time for questions and discussion after the break.

We are pleased that he has agreed to find time from a busy schedule to talk to us. Do bring along any friends who might be interested. The venue is:

The Pavilion, Portswood Residents’ Gardens

13 Abbotts Way, Highfield

Southampton SO17 1QU.

ALL WELCOME. Hosted by the South Hants Humanist Association.
