Almost there! The round is almost over and you'll be the last person to speak. This means noone gets to respond to the things you say. The adjudicators will be left with your voice dancing in their heads, as it is your voice they will hear last. Nice huh? Well, as usual, along with great power comes great responsibility. People will be expecting a lot of you, most important of which will be a summary!

Alright, summarising here is more or less the same as the Government Whip's. I won't reiterate my self by describing all the different kinds of summaries again. Let me just get to the optimal one, and change it slightly to fit this position's role. To start, quickly go through the opening half of this debate. You can do that by grouping all of the arguments into big themes, then saying what the two teams had to say on each of them. Once the first half of the debate is taken care of, you can begin to talk about the second half in chronological order. First talk about the third government speaker; crush her case and all of its supporting analysis. Then move on to your partner and the wonderful job that he did. Lastly discuss the way the Government Whip interpreted this debate and all of the nonsense she's been talking about in her speech. It shouldn't be hard, just make sure you present your team as the winning one.

Though all of these may sound easy, there's a common pitfall you need to be aware of. What we all commonly refer to as "new arguments" have come to be known as an Opposition Whip's worst nightmare. The reason is quite simple; if you bring one up, you lose the debate. Let me rephrase that, however, if you bring one up and the judges notice it, then you lose the debate. So, to alleviate this unnecessary burden of you, we have prepared a wonderful tutorial on disguising new arguments into examples. Trust me, this is a must-read for Opposition Whips. With it, you can sneak arguments into your speech. These arguments will make you virtually invincible, as noone will ever get a chance of actually responding to them.

Another thing that might help you, is our labelling tutorial. Use it in clever ways and it could infuse the judges' subconscious with a tendency to give you higher scores. As long as you keep them thinking that you're doing everything the way you're supposed to and that your partner has obviously crushed the government's case, you'll win this round.
