    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this point is very important. All these reasons that Members have given about owning parties and what not will not even be affected by reducing this thing to two months. All those variables you have mentioned will stay the same. So, those are not very good reasons to put here about one way or the other. They are not related at all. They are not correlated to anything. But let me make this point. Let us realize that at this particular time, we are nominating candidates, women representatives, assembly men, senators, Governors and MPs. It is a huge task. If you reduce the length of time that is required for political parties to submit all these things to the relevant authorities and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and so on, you risk the fact that people will not even have time to file petitions to challenge political parties about the same things you are talking about. In fact, if you reduce this time, it is not the political parties’ bosses you are talking about who will suffer. In fact, you make their work easier because you have no time to petition. So, I think that leaving these things for three months gives you much more room to exercise your rights and to petition than reducing it. In fact, you are arguing against your own interest. You do not understand what your interests are."
