    "content": "way he made his contribution I thought he was too careful to say that this is the right move that we are making. If he was sitting here, I would tell him, I am sort of a contradictory example of an hon. Member who has been in the Ninth Parliament; I have been in the Tenth Parliament and I am now in the Eleventh Parliament but I am not sure whether I am serving a third term or even a fourth term. I served a complete term in the Ninth Parliament. In the Tenth Parliament, I had a by-election and I lost. I came in, in the Eleventh Parliament and I lost. I went back and I came back. So, I am not sure whether I am serving the fourth or third term. So, what we are discussing here is that when you lose an election, even your own colleagues here, the same people that you were so friendly with here, will not even take your call; leave alone other people out there. It is important that we have a society of former hon. Members. I wish to say that the Mover should have taken the challenge to simply say: Let us have serving hon. Members join this society so that we can make it stronger. I do not know what you were trying to avoid. Maybe you did this in 2013. This is 2014 and we should move ahead and confidently say hon. Members should make contribution so that once we are out of Parliament, we can have a society that, indeed, looks after us."
