Yale Political Union
The Yale Political Union (YPU) is a debate society at Yale University, founded in 1934 by Professor Alfred Whitney Griswold. It was modeled on the Cambridge Union Society and Oxford Union. Members of the YPU have reciprocal rights at sister societies in England.〔"TWO YALE GROUPS TURN TO POLITICS; New Union's Plan to Train an Intelligent Minority for Leadership Is Approved", ''The New York Times'', December 9, 1934.〕 The Union is the central forum for political discussion and activism at Yale.
==Parties==
The Union is an umbrella organization that currently contains seven Parties: the Liberal Party (Lib), the Party of the Left (PoL), the Independent Party (IP), the Federalist Party (Fed), the Conservative Party (CP), the Tory Party (Tory), and the Party of the Right (POR).〔"Can the YPU bring back its glory days?" ''The Yale Herald'', September 9, 2005 Vol. XL, No. 2.〕〔"Party of the Left seeks to leave no leftist behind" ''The Yale Herald'', March 31, 2006 Vol. XLI, No. 10.〕 These parties are independent debating societies that host their own debates and activities apart from Union activities, though members will come together for weekly Union debates. The Parties are traditionally listed in the order above.
In the past, the Political Union has had other Parties, including a Bull Moose Party, a Constitutional Union Party, a Labor Party, a Liberal Democrat Party, and a Progressive Party, but not concurrently. The minimum number of parties has been two, the maximum seven, while four is typical.
Though party size and membership varies greatly over the decades, the Independent Party has consistently been the largest party in the Union for a decade. In recent semesters, the Party of the Left, the Party of the Right, and the Tory Party have each had their turn as the second largest party. The other parties have been comparatively smaller but always met the minimum voting requirement (25 active members).
