    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me respond. The import of the amendment is not to allow people to have a coalition, but it is to regulate the manner in which those coalitions will be governed and force them to deposit their coalition agreements with the Registrar of Political Parties, so that he or she can sort out the messes in the coalition, should they arise. It is important we appreciate the fact that the Constitution gives the power to associate and recognizes the coalitions, but they need to be managed whenever they are formed before or after by the Registrar of Political Parties. We need the Political Parties Act to provide for that regulation. That is what the amendment by the Minister, when it comes – you will see it in the Supplementary Order Paper – will be sorting out. So, let us delete the amendment proposed by the Committee and then we amend the Bill as proposed by the Minister."
