30Th of June was an important day because we went to the Scottish Parliament. Although it was so far from our hotel, we were very excited to go there because it was the first time for us to visit the parliament or one of the legislative authorities. When we arrived, they gave us cards to enter the committee room and debating chamber where the issues that related to Scotland were discussed.
At the beginning, we went to the committee room that contains a major table for representatives and sub-chairs for public. In this room we discussed general topics about the parliament and we asked several questions at the end. Some of those questions were related to the authority voting system. In addition, we asked about how the public participated in the parliament life and the future vision of the Scottish Parliament.
Next, we moved to the Debating Chamber where some politicians discuss and argue certain issues.
The hall was very huge and was divided into three sections. The Government members sat in the middle and the parties sat beside them. These two sections are on the ground floor while the last section is special for the public and it is on the upper floor. We saw the argument between the government and parties who want to support their opinions and arguments and decisions that they wanted to be applied. It was a serious argument and intense discussion. We really enjoyed the visit and we wished that we could share our ideas during session and the entire discussion.
