No, you don't, as well as you don't need to be anybody to understand how things are, because we don't argue about politics only, we argue about ethics, moral, philosophy, economics, feminism, social issues, day-to-day issues, anything really. Obviously, you don't need to be a political scientist, but sometimes it may give you a comparative advantage when we debate about international relations or about political institutions and so on. Specialized knowledge could help, but you don't need to be a political scientist to have this knowledge - surprise surprise - and generally, if a good political scientist will debate with a good debater, who maybe has less knowledge, in the debates which require this more of a logical fight and a skill of applying this logic to the real world - in these debates political scientist might as well lose, because those guys like to get carried away with theory and it's a problem - you need to understand how things work in reality, how are they being practically implemented, and knowing theory not always help. And herby all that analysis we do in debates during the trainings and preparations help developing this kind of thinking. And that’s why a lot of debaters work in analytics or consulting.
