    "content": "The author of the letter that I have just quoted from – that is the Registrar of Political Parties – is the official custodian of all coalition agreements. There is actually no need for us to table any agreement, because the author of that letter is the custodian of all those agreements. If you want to confirm with her, you simply take a walk to her office and confirm the same. We do not act in vain. In conclusion, this is a matter that, as I had said earlier, does not need to exercise your mind. It is a matter that you can dispense with very easily by simply going back to Standing Order 2B. Hon. Speaker, let me say this: Erskine May, who is one of the authorities that is acclaimed the world over, has determined previously in his writings that the matters of leadership of political coalitions or parties in the House, is a question of the results of parliamentary elections. If you read the 25th Edition of Erskine May, which was published I think in 2019, you will come to realise that these matters that we are discussing here were determined way back at the time we were doing parliamentary elections. Indeed, even in the USA, the matters of majority and minority are determined in the House of Representatives at the time of parliamentary elections. No amount of gerrymandering can change the situation."
