Question

Can you identify the MLAs of the ruling party and the opposition in the illustration? Colour the ruling party in one colour and the opposition in another.

Answer 1

Ruling Party MLAs

Usually, the ruling party sits near the Speaker’s right-hand side and is more actively participating. In this image, MLAs 1 to 3 are seated attentively in front of the Speaker, and MLA 6 is possibly the Speaker himself or an active ruling party leader.

• MLA 1 – Appears engaged, listening to the Speaker
• MLA 2 – Focused, possibly taking notes
• MLA 3 – Observant and attentive
• MLA 6 – Likely part of ruling party front bench (or the Speaker)

Opposition MLAs

On the left side (from the viewer’s perspective), the figures are not actively engaging. They are more in the background, likely representing the opposition.

• MLA 4 – Seated on the opposite side of the table
• MLA 5 – Sitting in a row of less involved individuals, typical of opposition seating
