Pillay was a Minority Front councillor for fifteen years before infighting in that party after the death of longstanding leader Amichand Rajbansi led him to break away and form the DLC.[1]

The party opposes affirmative action and land expropriation without compensation, and is in favour of austerity measures for government and simplifying business.[2]

gollark: I have a list of extra necessary stuff:```* Tags* Revision history* Media handling* Metadata/structured data support? At least for media* Usable mobile support* Search!* Efficient space use - compression?* Make inter-device synchronization possible* Consistent scrolling behavior* Probably some kind of macro-y or extension feature for important stuff like embedding maths/PDFs```which I expect to never finish.
gollark: So far I have:- page viewing capability (Markdown → virtual-DOM HTML)- page editing/creating capability (literally a `textarea`)but that's... basically it?
gollark: Anyway, if anyone wants to contribute code that would be appreciated. I'm not releasing the current code because I do not like it and it is unfinished, so just guess what code I might want and send me it.
gollark: The sanity thing, I mean.
gollark: Wait, what? When was that?
