    Yes, but quite frequently a member is asked to leave the chamber, particularly when he impunes the integrity of the Speaker and sometimes they are forcibly removed.

    Perhaps your chambers lack what we call previledge, but you only see what is called question time, at other times the parliament is sedate with only a few benches occupied, one from each party to hear the debate, every thing is decided in committee
