This idea is horrendously bad for e.g. MPs who are single mothers, a massively underrepresented group
Maybe we could limit MPs to 10 minutes each speaking or something? (Excluding certain obvious things like the PM talking about something.) You would still
be able to filibuster, but you'd have to coordinate 18 MPs to do it.

I’ve always wondered, if anything, what would be a good mechanism to prevent filibustering. Something like ‘no one leaves till this is settles’ Sounds good, but I would imagine there are all sorts of reasons why that wouldn’t work in practise.
