Preferred term

political debates  

Definition

  • Political debates allow candidates for a particular office to directly exchange and discuss ideas in a formalized and structured environment. Voters seem to find political debates particularly compelling because of the possibility for spontaneous occurrences that could give them a greater sense of the candidate's true character and abilities. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Debates, Political]
