This should have been done in 2015 without joining hands with a group who supported MR at both elections that year!

Thank u for yr honesty. Even nalin bandara said after the meeting st temple trees today thst it is only because of this "yp kehelmala magula" that we cudnt form a government.....which means he nor you or anyone calling themselves the Good Governance wasn't serious about that concept or believed init. All they wanted to do was to grab power and throw mahinda out , with no plan, mission, vision in mind for the country.

Before doing anything Ranil should give the leadership to someone who can really lead. If not nothing will change.

Well done Hon.PM, this is a very good opportunity to show the people that the UNP can provide what the people are expecting. Tag along the minor parties who want to give support to carry forward the development programs.

I don't have any faith in this man. If he was an able administrator he would have done his job in 3 years as the prime minister. He couldn't get RK sacked, even after knowing RK got benefits, bribes from the bond scammers. An old wine in a new bottle will taste the same!!

RW couldn't do his job because the MR supporters who MS took into to the SLFP and then into cabinet kept derailing things. Time to ditch them and have a strong UNP govt . Then we can judge what they can achieve at least by 2020

Please make sure proper ministers are appointed who can understand the pulse of the people.And in no way Ravi should be given responsibility he is an embarrassment to UNP.

This must be done, No need Change leadership of the Party. UNP should rely on policies not personalities. That is why UNP had an opportunity put common candidate with a support of all parties

After digging his own grave by not prosecuting Rajapakses now Ranil is trying to commit suicide with his party by going out of national government. via DM Android App

It's a wise idea, but only forming an independent government will not do. PM,you have to prove what you said during the last general election that previous government members were corrupt. So far you have failed to show the people that any of the previous government ministers have stole public wealth. Please also be very strict on your ministers,Deputies and so on to make sure that they do not play the fool with their duties and responsibilities. If not this will be the end of your political career. Good luck.

All the MPs against Rajapakshas, must get together and form the government, irrespective of any particular party. That will be the best foundation for ousting Rajapakshas, for ever, at the next Presidential election.

Yes, form a UNP Govt. but with a new educated younger leader. Ditch the globe trotting current leader or you can forget coming back at the next election.

In my personal view , the UNP should get the corporation from other minority parties. Even if they can invite respectable and honest SLFP stalwarts to join hands with them is no problem. Sack respectfully even coruptted UNP ministers. Get the maximum support from JVP. Give them with responsibility to bring up the village since they have that ability none other than. As far as I am concerned they will not loot public funds. Form a Government as soon as possible and try to solve the burning issues before the next elections. If you all manage to deliver goods you will perhaps have very good chance of winning the General Elections.

What a bunch of warp minded individuals; apparently they reject the verdict of the people. It is a feeble attempt to save the sinking ship (perhaps for short time).

Ranil has a vision to take the country forward. After General election he had no choice but to join hands with UPFA to form a government. Good luck for the next 2 ½ years..
