    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the theme of this particular Bill in this Order Paper is first elections, second elections, third elections and nothing else. The Bill seeks to amend Article 89, which you will find on page 59 of the Constitution. I would like to ask these very distinguished leaders in this Chamber and those who are watching outside to look at that page to see the thrust of what is intended in this proposal. The purpose of this amendment is to remove the ambiguity that has arisen on the use of the phrase “dissolution”. I also want to urge hon. Members to look at Article 102 of the Constitution on the definition of the term “Term of Parliament” because nobody referred to this particular part. It says:- “102(1) the term of each House of Parliament expires on the date of the next general election.”"
