The Roundtables

Throughout history, the Roundtable has stood as a symbol of collaborative debate, open dialogue, and thoughtful deliberation. It is in that same spirit that the Modern Whig Institute invites its members to join in open and freewheeling discussions on the pressing issues of the day.

We host the Roundtables on the Discourse platform. Not only are they exclusive to our membership, but only Institute members can view them.

Keeping the Roundtables private allows us to engage in meaningful conversations, explore diverse viewpoints, and contribute to thoughtful deliberation in a space dedicated to respectful and constructive discourse.

The Roundtables are not about winning arguments or defeating opposition—they are about exploring viewpoints, refining positions, and elevating discussions beyond the everyday noise of social media and partisan tribalism.

Here, reasoned voices shape the conversation. And each topic or statement serves not as a decree, but as an invitation — to think, to respond, and to engage in the ongoing Whig tradition of principled debate.
