  1. Role Fulfilment

  2. “Rules” of Britisth Parliamentary • Formally all speakers in a debate are meant to do certain things • In real terms these are guides to having a constructive debate and being persuasive • Your ultimate goal is to persuade the “average reasonable voter” of your side of the motion – not following these rules would make that very difficult

  3. Opening Government (OG) Opening Opposition (OO) • 2. Leader of Opposition (LO) • 4. Deputy Leader of Opposition (DLO) • Prime Minister • 3. Deputy Prime Minister TOP HALF Closing Government (CG) Closing Opposition (CO) • 6. Member of Opposition (MO) • 8. Opposition Whip (OW) • 5. Member of Government (MG) • 7. Government Whip (GW) BOTTOM HALF

  4. Opening Government (OG) 1. Prime Minister • Set up the debate i.e. definitions, mechanism, criteria. • Problem, mechanism/solution, why it works. • Two of the most important arguments and an additional argument. 3. Deputy Prime Minister • Respond to Leader of Opposition’s arguments. • Defend PM’s arguments against LO’s refutations. • One key NEW argument. • A further argument (stakeholder analysis).

  5. Opening Opposition (OO) 2. Leader of Opposition • Respond directly to Prime Minister’s arguments. • Set up team-line/principle. • Three arguments. 4. Deputy Leader of Opposition • Respond to Deputy Prime Minister’s arguments. • Defend LO’s arguments against DPM’s refutations. • Provide two or three new arguments.

  6. Closing Government (CG) 5. Member of Government (Extension Speaker) • Refute OO (especially DLO’s arguments) • Make two/three NEW arguments OR • Provide FAR more detail on OG’s argument(s). 7. Government Whip (Summary Speaker) • Respond directly to Member of Opposition’s arguments (the only one on Gov bench who can). • Summarise debate, explaining why Government won BUT emphasising in particular the arguments you brought in CG. • Structure: clash points

  7. Closing Opposition (CO) 6. Member of Opposition (Extension Speaker) • Refute Member of Government’s extension (has to be done here and not in the summary). • Two/three extension arguments. 8. Opposition Whip (Summary Speaker) • Defend MO’s extension against GW’s rebuttal. • Summarise debate, emphasising MO’s extension as being key to it being won by Opposition.

  8. Points of Information • A short (15 second maximum) interjection from a speaker on the opposite bench • The person speaking is expected to respond directly to the POI if possible • The person speaking always has the right to decline a POI • Should accept at least 1 – but too many will get in the way of your speech
