The debate would be a British Parliamentary style of debate where the house is divided into two opposing factions: the proposition (or government) and the opposition. Each faction is further subdivided into opening and closing teams, with each of these four teams consisting of two speakers. The teams and their roles are named after their counterparts in the British Parliament. The Adjudicator policy is N=N+1. Each team must consist of 2 speakers and 1 adjudicator. Cross teams are allowed.<\/p>\n
