What if they want outside members to lead the party?

Then what is the point of creating the separate party? If the ideologies are so similar then they don't need to be separate parties, or it shouldn't be a hassle for one outside party member to shift their official membership.

So I assume then we have to make them honorary members? This bill just seems to limit free choice of the parties all for limiting party membership.

A Ban on Coronation Street

---

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Affirming that the British television programme Coronation Street is boring as shit,

Noting that the slow-paced action in the series is more boring than watching paint dry in a tropical rainforest,

Declaring that no one should have to endure the pain of watching bad soap operas,

Hereby outlaws the series Coronation Street.
