    "content": "I therefore propose that, as we debate, we also look at the reality of our society. That is so that we do not imprison ourselves in constitutional technicalities and ignore the reality of our society. The person who sits in this House as the Leader of the Minority Party may not be the person who controls the rank and file of the Opposition. The rank and file of the Opposition is controlled and has its leadership outside this House. Partly why that leadership will find expression in political rallies is because they do not have an official forum where they can air their views. I persuade Members that we craft our Constitution to live with the realities of our society as opposed to imprisoning ourselves to technicalities."
