Since the House is where all laws are enacted or repealed, and is the central place where all issues affecting the Kingdom from both a micro and macro perspective, all issues before the House are heavily and at times heatedly discussed. Since the executive arm of government (the Executive) never has a majority in the House, they must always rely on the support of either the Noble's or People's Representatives to push government legislation through. Debates in the House take place according to the following seating arrangement -
Debates in the House are chaired and governed by the Speaker in reconciliation with the Legislative Assembly's Rules of Proceedings and Standing Orders. The Speaker maintains order by exercising his powers to punish members for disorderly behaviour and contempt.
