* Reasoning Skills

Parliamentary debate requires its participants to come up with logical and creative reasons for their assertions on the spur of the moment; debating in parliamentary rounds will teach you how to think on your feet. Additionally, it will also help you learn how to make a clear and concise argument in a given amount of time, which is a useful skill to have whether you're speaking in a debate round or writing a paper for class. The entire purpose of debate is to convince another person that your proposition is a brilliant idea and should be implemented; debating will help you refine your ability to persuade other people to see your point of view.

* Personal Knowledge

Parliamentary debate topics range from the philosophical to the absurd, and from current events to ancient history. Unlike other forms of debate, Parliamentary exposes you to a wide variety of topics and looks at the most important aspects of each one. If you're asked to debate a topic about which you know very little, by the end of the round you'll find that you've dramatically expanded your knowledge of it. If you have to take a position which you are personally diametrically opposed to, it will require you to thoughtfully consider the other side of what you once saw as a one-sided issue. These are two of the great things about Parliamentary debate in both cases, you're required to analyze something that you wouldn't have otherwise, thus making you a more knowledgeable and enlightened person.
