    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose this proposal. The idea of having a political party is to instill discipline. Secondly, we need to ensure that party ideologies are respected. This is happening globally. Mahatma Gandhi, in his book, identified six big sins that one can commit. One of the sins include politics without principle. In the event we become nomads, moving from one place to another, then we have no ideologies to subscribe to. In the event you have no ideologies to subscribe to, then you have no reasons to serve anybody in this country. I think we must strengthen political parties by ensuring that their ideologies are respected. That notwithstanding, you cannot subscribe to ideologies in different political parties. If you form another political party, then you cease to be a member of a political party that you have been serving."
