The Yale Political Union has a new blog — and the online forum already has 13 posts since its launch last Monday.

The YPU e-mailed all its members Thursday to announce the launch of yalepoliticalunion.blogspot.com, which blog manager Sandy Zhu ’12 said was created to serve as an open forum for inter-party political discourse on topics beyond those chosen at YPU debates.

Recent posts discuss topics such as the role of religion in government, senatorial filibusters and a rap song about economics.
