1705134090 First, the Deputy Prime Minister should refute arguments presented by the Leader of Opposition. Refutation is the topic of Chapter 10 and that process will be more fully discussed there. For now, it is sufficient to say that the Deputy Prime Minister should challenge the best of the arguments offered by the Leader of Opposition. Refutation is an important part of the speech, but the Deputy Prime Minister should not devote a majority of speech time to this process. Although the amount of time used in refutation of the Leader of Opposition’s argument will vary according to the situation, that process probably should not take more than one or two minutes. Debaters need to remember that devoting time to an opponent’s argument is a necessary feature of a good debate speech, and gives added credibility to that opponent’s argument, as well.

1705134092 Second, the Deputy Prime Minister should support the arguments presented by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will have already presented one or two arguments in support of the motion as he or she interpreted it. Then, the Leader of Opposition will, in all likelihood, have refuted those arguments. The role now for the Deputy Prime Minister is to rebuild those original arguments. That process of rebuilding the Prime Minister’s arguments must include refutation of the Leader of Opposition’s arguments that were raised against them. So, the process might unfold something like this: the Deputy Prime Minister will very briefly review the Prime Minister’s argument then state the Leader of Opposition’s objections. Then, the Deputy will refute those arguments raised by the Leader of Opposition and, in so doing, will rebuild the Prime Minister’s argument. The Deputy Prime Minister needs to remember that the second step needs to be accomplished by following the outline of the Prime Minister, not the outline of the Leader of Opposition. By following the outline of the Prime Minister, the Deputy keeps the Prime Minister’s case in focus.

1705134094 The process of supporting the arguments raised by the Prime Minister is an important one. Judges and audiences alike have the right to assume that the arguments raised by the Prime Minister are among the most important arguments the First Government Team will make. If those arguments are refuted by the Leader of Opposition and then not supported again, the arguments will lose a considerable amount of their credibility.

1705134095

1705134096 Finally, the Deputy Prime Minister should add at least one new argument to the debate—an argument that is different from yet supportive of the arguments presented by the Prime Minister. The purpose of the new argument is to demonstrate that the Deputy Prime Minister takes more than a supportive role in that debate—that he or she is able to construct independent arguments as well as refute and support previous arguments.
