Language and occupation and opinion - political debate on Trump visit

This link to the transcript of the debate in the House of Commons on the petition against Trump's state visit is a fascinating insight into the conventions of political speech and how opinions are supported in this context - look at the language of this occupation, particularly register, lexis and discourse (especially modes of adress, turn-taking and structuring of points). Look at it also for how opinions are expressed and supported for paper 2, section 2.
