    "content": "negotiated in a harmonious way which is an improvement from the feeling people have had that there is always acrimony between the two Houses. This negotiated version does what this country has needed for a long time. There are numerous parties that dissipate the contribution and the votes of the electorate, some of which are run from briefcases in vehicles and set out to raise money for registration of parties. They wait for those who have lost in the nominations in other parties so that they give them ticket. They have no base to support those members when they continue with their work in Parliament. These parties will have no choice but to merge. The negotiated version ensures that all the parties we will have, have a broad regional base instead of narrow-based political parties that encourage ethnicity. This leads to the avoidance of proper philosophical or broad discussion of national issues and will tend to relegate the discussions on political matters to narrow, parochial, regional and even ethnic grounds. To that extent, we expect that this will help parties."
