Labor parliament
A working parliaments are parliaments whose processing of bills mainly takes place in the parliamentary committees (structure according to factual logic) and parliamentary groups (structure according to party logic) , where these are worked through individually. The debates in the plenary of a working parliament mainly have an information function and serve to exchange arguments in front of the public. The parliamentary plenary can therefore also be seen as a kind of arena for convincing potential voters. Therefore, in many plenary debates, only the parliamentarians involved in the drafting are present. In contrast to this, in the committees, questions are mostly discussed in a constructive and cross-party manner and critically in a less offensive and effective way.
Examples of such a working parliament are the German Bundestag , the Swiss Parliament , the US Congress or the European Parliament .
The opposite of the Labor Parliament is the Speech Parliament . In this, bills are mainly processed in plenary .
