    "content": "On this one, for avoidance of doubt, I know hon. Members who were in the Tenth Parliament and who played an active part in the campaigns for the adoption of the new Constitution, I would advise that you very quickly look at Article 108 of the Constitution; you will realize that it recognizes coalitions. Our Standing Orders have merely reflected what is in the Constitution. So, you should have no doubt about the reference to coalitions. They have been formed and recognized in the Constitution itself, which is the supreme law of the land; it is also in the Political Parties Act. So, if you have any issues about one coalitions or the other--- The only other thing that I may want to guide the House on is that even as we have these coalitions, it is important to appreciate that we also have independent candidates. They are equal members of this House. They are also Members of this House, who are not supported by parties; maybe there is only one or two of them. They will equally be entitled to placement within various Committees."
