Third part

• As we have seen in the video, the opposition has a real retort power in front of the majority party.

• II) Some weapons in the parliamentary procedure The opposition has some weapons: - The motion of censure: It can overthrow the government - It has the right to ask parliamentary writing or speaking questions.

• - It can demand votes or debates - It can participate to some parliamentary investigation commissions.

• - It has one third (1/3) of working time that is to say it has the possibility to express oneself.

• - It has the possibility to pass texts to the Parliament.

• - It profits of the parliamentary publicity.

• - It has the benefit of the speaker protection: it’s an impartial person and he ensures the respect of the minority.

• - After the throne speech, the opposition has the right of response.

• III) The change-over phenomenon: This change-over phenomenon is the thing that makes British regime in ahead of the other regimes.

• Thinking that the opposition is recognized, it has the means to prepare itself.

• Its preparation has an important influence over the majority party and in a larger scale an influence over the legal system: it creates the dynamism: it’s a driving force behind the system.

• - So, we can say that there is a link with the majority dynamism because more the opposition does its job well, more it informs the population and more it has support.

• So, more it does his job well more it forces the majority to do his job well too.

• This creates the two party system (bipartism): minority knows that it can win the next election & the majority knows that is can loose.

• So, there is a real respect of the minority.

• Eventually, we are going present the last aspect in which the opposition plays a key role.
