    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I stand to support the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill. I want to urge Members that this is how Parliament conducts its business. There must be a Bill, debate and voting, and it will be decided in one way or the other. Secondly, coalitions are here to live with us for the longest time possible. Since the advent of multiparty politics, coalitions have been in existence and this is a Bill that is going to make coalitions work better. This is a Bill that is going to make our politics have better hygiene than it was. You could hear people raising issues of previous coalitions. This Bill is supposed to cure those problems. It is supposed to make our politics going forward better than it is today. I know there are people who do not believe in coalitions. There are people who believe in political parties. There are people who want to be independent. The Constitution guarantees everyone their right. This House will not decide on this Bill based on how loud your voice is; this House is going to decide based on the persuasion every Member makes to the other, and whether what you are saying is making sense or not. For that reason, I want to urge my colleagues to debate The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
