Then Begin goes into detail about his frustrations towards Herut members' actions against him. There was a theory constructed without Begin's knowledge: If Herut is divided in opinion over who should be elevated and who demoted to office, then the chairman of the Movement (meaning Begin) would have to be a referee. A referee does not give his input. In Begin's conclusion, he expresses hope for Herut members to stop acting like "pampered children."
