    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose this amendment with very clear reasons. If you remember, NARC survived after the referendum in 2005 by poaching members from other political parties. This legislation we are putting here seems to be legitimizing the poaching. Another thing is that; what we are doing here is legitimizing political prostitution; hopping from party to party at will. What we are doing here is that we are justifying what PNU has been doing by “eating” its own children and adopting the neighbours’. That is what we are doing with this amendment to this Bill. Yet this is supposed to be an Act to govern political parties, not for our convenience. It is important that we realize that. We have pushed it too far with the many amendments that we have put here. It is no longer useful as a Political Parties Bill."
