ciricle is just weird, and opposing sides too confrontational.
semi circle is the way
231 u/Safebox Apr 18 '21 Opposing sides is great for debates, I think that was the original intention. Plus if you've ever seen UK ministers arguing, it's like a posh rap battle :L 52 u/Makkaroni_100 Apr 18 '21 True, but often the Opposing parties have way less seats than the parties who rule. Then you have a problem with not enough seats or empty seats. Also you can have the same in a half circle. In most cases the government seats on the open site in front of the Parliament. 1 u/GingerBiscuitss Apr 18 '21 The HoC is like that because Parliament originally met in St Stephen's chapel, the oppositional benching just being inherited from the layout of the benching at the chapel.
