It is a very forward-looking law. It is a law that will bring order and health. As we all know, democracies rely on political parties for their day-to-day activities. So, I stand to support this honourable House in enacting this law. I think it is a wonderful law. However, even as we commend this august House, might we also say that this nation is in transition and transitions are not easy things? I am not sure that many of us are fully aware of the changes that we are going through as a country."}
