Would you Vote for Zohran Mamdani? - Let’s discuss the Democratic Socialists

🍷 Each ticket includes unlimited wine or soft drinks until 9.30pm (yes really!)

If Zohran Mamdani were running as your MP in Manchester, would you vote for him? Why, or why not? What does his rise tell us about the appetite for democratic socialist politics, and could that kind of leadership genuinely resonate in a city like Manchester? Let's discuss. 

You’ve been looking for proper political conversation with a great group and you’ve found it. Join us for a thoughtful, open discussion on Mamdani, his policies and the bigger political picture. What do you agree with? What gives you pause? How might this style of politics translate locally, and who in the UK could realistically bring similar ideas into the mainstream?

This is the perfect event for those looking to meet new people and connect over a shared fascination with current affairs. You absolutely don't need to be an expert and you certainly don't need to have kept up to date. Come along to learn, contribute or both. 

This is a space for curious, engaged conversation. You don’t need to be an expert or fully up to date. Come to listen, question, challenge, learn, or simply take part.

The Format

  • A very informal atmosphere 
  • Small tables
  • Prompt cards to guide the conversation

We have moved the start time to 7.30pm to allow everyone time to eat beforehand.
