The 2016 US Presidential election is the fiercest it has been in years. The election has been shrouded in scandal, controversy and criminal investigations. Alongside the notoriously unpopular front runners third party candidates are gaining more support than ever. The reality is that whatever the outcome of the vote on the 8th of November is the face of US politics has changed forever.
Students of all disciplines are invited to MU Sociology and Politics Society along with guest speaker and political analyst Noel Whelan at 6pm on the 14th of November in JH2 for an evening digest of the US election, the winners, the losers, what went right and what went very wrong.
