    "content": "women have been nominated to come to this House. That is what we should be doing; encouraging people to elect more women so that we can balance out. We should not come here to form ways of giving women seats because of the two-thirds gender rule. That principle should only apply when it comes to positions of appointment or nomination. With regard to elective positions, we should bring a Bill that seeks to remove or delete that part of the Constitution that talks about elected positions. If it needs a referendum, the Leader of the Majority Party should be telling us how we are supposed to go to referendum during election time. We are going to elections. So, provide a ballot box that has on it the referendum question so that, as people vote during the general election, they can also cast their vote in the referendum ballot box. That way, we will be able to remove that rule and have the freedom of electing people of either gender to come here to represent them. Thank you."
