Everything about Model Parliament totally explained
»
A
Model Parliament (also referred to as a
Mock Parliament) is a simulation of the
parliamentary proceedings of a
legislature or other
deliberative assembly, often based upon the
Westminster Parliamentary system. Model Parliaments are usually held as an educational tool to promote understanding of the workings of
government.
Model Parliaments have also been established to promote the activities of
community service programmes or to advocate social or political change. The movement was founded for the purpose of advancing
youth programmes in
Canada.
Oxfam sponsors an "International Youth Parliament" to promote youth-led social change. As an example of the latter purpose, in 1914 the
women's suffrage movement in
Canada, under the leadership of
Nellie McClung, organized a mock parliament to parody the refusal of the government of
Manitoba to grant women the right to vote.
