    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support this amendment, first because I am a Member of this Committee and secondly because I think we like to play hide and seek and pretend that we do not know where we are coming from and where we are going. The inclusion of the President and the Prime Minister which is irritating everybody could easily for me be political parties. I actually was for political parties because this process of elections is not for electing a Pope. It is for electing a President of this country who must come from a political party. But because we like hiding behind issues and we never want to face things directly, we then have compromised to say that the two persons come from the President and the Prime Minister. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the problem here is that we have lost the real meaning of political parties. If we had strengthened political parties who remained faithful to the Political Parties Act, we would not be having political parties that are eating their own children and adopting the children of their neighbour. That is the problem we are having here. I support this because even if we go around for ten years, we will not get out of the fact that this is a political process. I support."
