I did mock parliament, model UN, model Commonwealth for years.
I'm sorry that you were somewhat disappointed/disallusioned with your experience, but most of the participants don't take it all that seriously (myself included).
bwhaha. They weren't kidding on the come on over thing, I know that personality type the frat boy/prep boys. If that's your thing, you're a Liberal (higher up end). Nobody really likes the frat boy/rich country club personas, Slytherin House in Harry Potter. lol
The three parties have a convention
Liberals go to get laid (which is what most of them did lol)
Tories go to get drunk (they're the talkers at parties)
Dippers go to exchange policy papers and then some smoke pot (hello caucus meetings til 2am! lol)
Greenies go to smoke pot and try other recreational drugs (too high to come)
Yeah I kinda new it was going to be silly, but there's a couple old timers in their who have gone to this event for 5 or 8 or 13 years and really muck it up. Its quite sad actually (that they've been around so long). lol This year was the worst though apparently. To the air horn from the Liberals on Friday, when people were working in the building, to being repremanded by the Sargent at Arms staff for throwing ice in the halls, to slit your throat calls, and commenting on the size of someone's breasts, to a fight in the Liberals over drunkeness the night before over a Liberal girl (there was only 4 Liberal girls 30 males). That's crossing the line a bit.
There's a couple people I know who won't be coming back. Mostly the ones who were the targets of the attacks mentioned above and whom have had experience in debate, so this was a turn off to them from the structure of debate societies. I'll come back if I have time, its fun, you meet people, there's this one girl in the Conservative caucus whom I know has a future, 18 and ran for your (Lil Me) municipal govt, impressive.
So in the end these events are funny, you can gauge the room and go "oh this person is destined for this" then meet them personally and go 'wow they are going to go in that direction' or go 'wow I hope they don't go in that direction because the last thing the country needs is more arrogant asses, wait they're Liberals so the answer is probably yes, crap we're doomed'. lol
