Obviously if you're in the minority you're probably less likely to express your view because you'll probably lose the argument. That's just how debate works.
No-one is stopping them expressing their views.I'm alright JackComment

Thanks - So really discussing Brexit was not relevant to the subjects you were studying. So the Lecturers shouldn't have wasted your time with their opinions (either way) on Brexit?
Was listening to LBC this morning and they had a guest Lecturer (left leaning) who suggested the people who complained in the survey were making it up. It was like being in the Brexit forum listening to the baying lefties dismissing reality.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Just saying it was talked about and all in one direction. Again I'm very very anti brexit so I also invited this conversation.Comment

Since when was everyone who is anti-Brexit "Left leaning", and everyone pro-Brexit oppressed right wing?
Is this part of the "cancel culture" ?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Maybe not discussing a controversial subject while you are in a position of power might be a more professional approach?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
