Richard Tice MP | This House Has No Confidence In His Majesty's Government

Video Description

Richard Tice MP speaks in the Debating Chamber as Third Proposition for the motion at 8pm on Thursday 10th October 2024. The No Confidence debate is an annual tradition at the Cambridge Union. For the first time in the last fourteen years, we will be debating whether a Labour government holds up to scrutiny. This debate brings together prominent politicians to decide whether we have confidence in Starmer’s new government. Cambridge Union Society Debate Info: In The Chair: Alessio D’Angelo Taking the Minutes: Leonas Pausch - The Debate Motion title is always preceded in context by the phrase “This House Would”, “This Would Believes”, or simply “This House”. - The Debate motion is typically phrased in Proposition of the argument prior to any votes or speeches, regardless of controversial nature. - Six 10 minute speeches are given, alternating between each Proposition & Opposition speaker of the Debate Motion. - The Chair governs authority over interjections, time limits, and any discretions/arrangements agreed between speakers and/or CUS. - There are two ways interjections can be made by audience members; a Point of Information (upon acceptance from the speaker) or a Floor Speech. (Interjections are not to be interpreted as Audience Questions and can be denied or ignored at discretion of the Speaker or Chair) - Points of Interest cannot be made during the first & last minutes of any speech, they also must be under 30 seconds and maintain relevance. (As a result it is impractical to provide microphones for Points of Interest and apologise for any issues with audibility) - Floor speeches are made by audience members at intervals during the Debate discussing support for Proposition, Opposition or Abstention. (The Union rarely publishes Floor Speeches due to Release Form arrangements within membership contracts) - At the end of the Debate, all Speakers and audience members cast their vote as they leave the Debating Chamber through doors labelled “AYES” & “NOES”, with the central door exit representing Abstentions. - The Chair calls an announcement shortly after the Debate to confirm the votes.
