1705134560 The first half of the debate ends with the speeches of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Deputy Leader of Opposition. The second half of the debate begins with Member Speeches—Member of Government and Member of Opposition. Those speakers have dual responsibilities: First, they need to exhibit loyalty to their colleagues in the Upper House (first half of the debate); and second, they need to move the debate forward. Each debater in the first half of the debate, Government and Opposition, has advanced a limited number of arguments. Now the Member of Government and the Member of Opposition have the opportunity to expand the number and kind of arguments in the debate. If the debate were to continue for eight speeches with only the arguments introduced by the Upper House, the debate might be stale or boring by the end. In moving the debate forward by introducing new arguments, the Member of Government and Member of Opposition have the opportunity to breath new life into the debate.

1705134564 The Member of Government and the Member of Opposition have responsibilities for refutation as well as for argument construction. The first responsibility of the Member of Government and Member of Opposition speakers is to engage in refutation of the case presented by the opening teams on the opposing side. The process of refutation will be discussed more fully in Chapter 10. Both member speakers also are responsible for argument construction in ways that differ from those of the speakers on the opening teams. The Member of Government and Member of Opposition speakers are responsible to construct arguments in a way that moves the debate forward by extending arguments. The next sections of this chapter will discuss the concepts of refuting and extending arguments.

1705134567 8.1 Refuting Arguments in Member Speeches

1705134568

1705134569 As stated earlier, both the Member of Government and Member of Opposition are obliged, at least in a general manner, to continue the refutation of the arguments introduced by the Government and Opposition teams in the first half of the debate. The amount of time devoted to this obligation is minimal because the primary difference in the second half of the debate is to move the debate forward into a new series of arguments. Thus, the Member speakers should focus only on the most important points of refutation with regard to the first half of the debate, and should focus their refutation on those arguments introduced by the Deputy Prime Minister and by the Deputy Leader of Opposition. Although those responsibilities are important, the time devoted to them should be limited. Because the responsibility to extend the debate will require quite a bit of time, the Member of Government and Member of Opposition should try to limit their refutation to two or, at the most, three minutes. One way to limit the amount of time spent on refutation is to provide general refutation to the arguments from the Prime Minister and from the Leader of Opposition, and only specifically refute the extension offered by the Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of Opposition.
