Exactly Pasamba Jow. You cannot use the rules to challenge someone who does
not play by the rules. It just does not work. I think your suggestion is a
good one,  but will the opposition ever form one united body instead of the
cat and mouse game some of them are bent upon pursuing? The interest of the
country would be the interest of any opposition party that is truely serving
the interest of the nation as opposed to their own interest.
