A well-functioning democracy requires an amplified opposition voice, not just noise. In the past decade, disruptions have overshadowed genuine concerns, leading to:

• Reduced Scrutiny: Constant boycotts hinder proper debate on crucial policies.
• Polarization: Point-scoring deepens divides, hindering constructive dialogue.

To improve Parliament’s efficiency, consider:

• Enforcing Norms: Respectful discourse promotes serious debate.
• Dedicated Time: Allocate specific time for the opposition to propose amendments and offer constructive criticism.
• Committee Focus: Empower committees for detailed bill scrutiny.

By amplifying the opposition’s voice through these measures, Parliament can become a platform for informed debate, leading to stronger policymaking.
