    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to throw some light on the amendment by hon. Eseli. It is all very well to say that coalitions should only be allowed after an election, but remember elections take place every five years. Now, if you just delete “before an election” and say ‘after an election”, which election shall we be talking about? Are they the 2002, 2007 or the 2012 elections? We must be very clear when we are passing laws. I think the important thing is that if you want to move an amendment, let us not create a situation that will be challenged here in Parliament as to what you exactly meant. So, this amendment by Dr. Eseli means exactly the same as the amendment by the Minister, except that the one by the latter is very clear that you are allowed to form a coalition before or after an election for avoidance of doubt. Dr. Eseli, I would urge that, perhaps, you withdraw your amendment or we defeat it."
