self divided Into throe political parlies were con fronted with the challenge of passing one of three proposed bills the of Capital Punishment on increase in immigration levels and withdrawal from NATO For many I he challenge proved more difficult than expected The Notional Party the party with the most members and therefore the Government party was the only sue one sway enough mem bom of the other side to vole for its proposed bill With the support of the Cooperative Party they were able to obtain a majority vote in favor white the Loyal Opposition the Dominion Party could not stop thepassageof the bill As in real life the National Party when confronted with a minority government found it necessary to encompass some of the restriction of the third party The immigration bill only passed in the House of Com mens after an increase in actual numbers and the elimination of cor tain restrictions Even so the Nationil Parly found it hard to reach party wlidanty the preparation lums meeting Divided opinions and idias war ranted several compromises within the party In short I he studuitH were beginning to lean what politics is all about The second largest party and therefore the Official opposition par tried its hand at by in bill to reinstate Capital Punish men into the legal system Though that appeared reasonably unified on the issue It could not obtain the support of either of Int other two pirties With the Cooptrotives solitarily against and the Nationals split on issue the Capilal Punishment bill up be ing defeated In the House Ladies and gentlemen lesson The third and final bit being pro posed In this House of Commons was a bid for Canada withdraw from the Western alliance treaty NATO With the Cooperatives the bill they survived through rigorous debate from all sides up having the bill easily It Is Interesting to look at the results of this Model Parliament and apply them to the real life scene Both the right Dominion parly and the left wing Cooperatives lost their bills because were loo radical too extreme Thi only sue parly the Nationals won bill not because they had the most people but because were able to manipulate the vote of the op ponents and therefore come up with a winning bill In tins House ended up the best Furthermore the content of the bills were remarkably contrasting Both the NATO and the Capital Punishment bills were and welldefined There were not gray areas it was a case of being In or out But with immigration the bill had a number of loopholes and compromises All sides were satisfied with some parts of the bill
