    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the hon. Member misunderstands the amendment. These rules or regulations were supposed to have been passed for posterity. What we are seeking the amendment for is the time within which they should have been passed. We should have passed them six months before the elections. The amendment says that they should be passed four months to the elections. The rules were supposed to be there for an eternity. If he has an issue with that, there should have been an amendment to the substantive section because we are just amending the time lines. The rules themselves are supposed to be for good. If the next Parliament will feel that some things should be changed, there is a window in the rules. We passed an Act to manage the elections. That Act should come with regulations. Those are the regulations that we are dealing with. Our amendment just deals with the fact that this Parliament did not have time to look at the rules. So, we are giving ourselves more time. Once we pass the rules, they will be for good."
