This is to create room for the SL cabinet to have a meeting. Get rid of space used by 266 tamils and then you can accommodate some of the modayas from a cabinet.
I wonder whether the UN assembley would be kind enough to give their chamber for our great cabinet. After all the UN is a talking shop with no action how about giving it to our guys ? |
