Each team is a theoretical coalition with a majority (limit of 70 seats) and, from that coalition, we can choose 25MPs on whom to base our scores off. If our coalition has a question or is questioned, yet our team isn't, we get half the points. There's 12 questions marked out of 10 from Question Time, so each team is fighting for as many of those 240 points per session as they can potentially accumulate. I'm presuming that I'll score Thursdays, as that's the low-key chill day. 👋 - Strategically, this places less of an onus on the real leaders, who seldom attend on Thursday. - Special rules: We're each allowed 2MPs from outside our coalition, and we get full points for all of those, alongside our regular team. They're able to be traded at the end of each 3-week sitting session, and the full points transfer between each team (ie the 70 points from person X are simply transferred to the new owner rather than any complicated maths thing). I think that's probably enough to get started. 📜
