BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING STYLE

Actually this is my assignment for Legal Skill subject… it is my first experience in debating…. I have never debating before although I am a Law student…


British Parliamentary Debate Style is a new thing for me and maybe for my friends too.  Here are some characteristics of this type of debating style…

There are two parties… government and opposition…. 4 persons per party…

In every party there are opening group and closing group; opening government, opening opposition, closing government and closing opposition.

Before the debate, there about 30 minutes for preparation after the motion is gave… after the 30 minutes ended… the debate begins

The first speaker is Prime Minister (government) and followed with Leader of Opposition… and so on… ~refer to the video~

All speakers are allocated about 7 minutes to throw out their points and arguments…  the opposite party can interrupt after first 1 minute until the sixth minute…

The debate ends after the last speaker's speech….

Here is a video for you.... enjoy...
