Welcome to Debatable, the magazine by the UK Youth Parliament.
The purpose of the magazine is to generate political debate, to inform decision makers of the issues which matter most to young people, and to challenge the negative portrayal of young people in the media by showcasing the positive work young people are doing around the UK.
Debatable is published quarterly and is free to download from the UKYP website. Debatable is kindly sponsored by Votivation.com
We hope you enjoy!
