    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this proposal. It is good to give individuals who lose in the primaries an option to become independent candidates. This scenario calls for an opportunity for us to create the relevant law that will reengineer the political party system in this country. If we allow things to go the way they are going, we may end up having a House full of independents and political parties will die. So, a lot of focus needs to be put in the management of political parties to make them democratic and well run instead of having mushrooming briefcase parties that want to sit on high tables demanding for things and yet they do not have numbers. A lot of effort has to be put in making parties democratic and legal entities that are functional and not parties that spring up during elections. I support this proposal and encourage that we invest in political parties’ management."
