    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I pray that my friends allow us to go and share the little money that we have made. We need to take the money home so that our people can also eat. Even now, I have seen a lot of invitation cards for home-coming ceremonies. This is a good chance. Why do you not go home and make a home-coming ceremony and invite me so that I can get an opportunity to see where you come from? It is the same way I am going to organise a home-coming ceremony and invite some of you who do not want to leave this House. This House is not meant for us throughout. We have to be here at certain times and at other times to be at home to listen to those who brought us here. Now, do you want us to sit here for 24 hours and when we say that we want to go home you say that we are tired? We are not tired! We are merely going to look for work. The work is not here; it is in the constituency. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another reason why we should adjourn is that, the other day, this story of forming a Grand Coalition Government came up and the people down there do not understand it. Then there is this story which is coming up of a Grand Coalition Opposition and the people at home are getting lost. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had better go home and educate the public on the meaning of a Grand Coalition Government and a Grand Coalition Opposition so that they can come along with us. For the people who are in power like me, you might think that we are opposing, but if you went ahead to educate the public on the meaning of Opposition, I am sure we shall be pushed to allow you to have a Grand Coalition Opposition. However, when you tell us from here and yet we do not have any force at home, we shall oppose you and you will not form the Grand Coalition Opposition! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can see I have persuaded my friends and they have come along. I, therefore, suggest that we adjourn and they are in agreement! With those many words, I beg to support."
