    "content": "Back to the point, I stand to support this amendment which seeks to make it easy for political parties, including small ones, to get support from the taxpayers’ funds. Political parties are the main instruments of democracy. Facilitating participation of the people in a democracy, in a structured manner, brings results and orderly governance. That being the case, there is need for free and full ownership of the parties by the Members, so that they can express their sovereign rights as expressed in Article1 of our Constitution. The only way the people can own political parties is if they themselves fund them through their taxes."
