ABOUT THE BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE

British Parliamentary debate, or BP, is the most popular style of intercollegiate debating in the world. British Parliamentary style is a major form of academic debate that originated in Liverpool in the mid-1800s. It is the style used at the annual World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC).

British Parliamentary Style Debate is one of the more popular forms, based on debates in the British Parliament. It was first adopted by UK universities but is now popular in debating competitions around the world.

British Parliamentary debates consist of four teams, containing two speakers each, which are divided into two sides that speak for and against the motion.

Due to the style's origins in British parliamentary procedure, the two sides are called the Government and the Opposition.

Similarly, sides are known as benches, consisting of two teams - an opening team and a closing team.

The teams compete against all three other teams in the round, including against its own opening or closing team, which it is not expected to help.
