    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is not the correct position. The practice all over the world where there are party lists is that each party gives an exact number of seats, the reason being that no political party ever won elections 100 per cent in the history of this country. These seats are going to be shared maybe half or three- quarters. Therefore, what will happen is that, although you gave 12 seats and got six, you still have a bank. In the totally unlikely event that you deplete the number of people on your list, there is a mechanism for replacement. This is easier than making the Commission receive a bulk of names. Let every party give 12 and remember we have 49 parties. Let every party give the exact number, for example, if it is 12, 12 seats and if it is 16 for senators, 16 seats. In the unlikely event of it being exhausted, there is a method for doing that."
