St. Kitts and Nevis (SKN PULSE): Debaters from Anguilla and Nevis got the nod from judges on Friday night, being named Best Speakers in the Second and Third Debates of the 45th Annual Leeward Islands Debating competition taking place in Nevis.

With the moot: “The global rise in anti-immigration sentiments is justified”, Gabriella Brantley and Rol-J Williams opposed the moot and they presented a thorough and well researched analysis that earned Team Nevis a well deserved victory during the second night of the Leeward Islands Debating Competition.
