Back Bench

The Back Bench is made up of all members of the Parliament who are not Ministers, Deputy Ministers, or Elected Leaders, All new members in TUXIS begin as back bench members. This is because during sittings of the annual Session, they sit in the rows of seats behind the "Front Bench". They are quite literally in the "Back Bench".

In our Parliament, the back bench members can choose the amount of commitment that they wish to make to the Parliament. Members of the back bench have the most freedom and flexibility to choose where they fit in the Parliament hierarchy.
