Hon. Members, the Constitution and legislation passed by this House outline a clear framework for the enjoyment of political rights and the place and regulation of political parties in our democracy respectively. Article 38 of the Constitution provides, and I quote— “(1) Every citizen is free to make political choices, which includes the right— (a) to form, or participate in forming, a political party; (b) to participate in the activities of, or recruit members for, a political party; or, (c) to campaign for a political party or course."
