The joint opposition has said it will strive towards the dissolution of Parliament soon after the new government assumes office.

It said it would first present the Vote on Account in Parliament and thereafter, either the JO or the Mahinda Rajapaksa group of the UPFA will move a resolution calling for the dissolution of Parliament and hope the UNP would support this move. (Kelum Bandara)

Looks like people have shown who the MASTERS are and who should SERVE the MASTERS to all these bastards on both sides. Now open the doors to Parliament and let the will of the people prevail! We shall decide who is who!

Unfortunately the will of the people will not be represented in parliament when the MP's have already been bought over with money.

Dissolve the parliament and hold elections for both parliament and President to enable people to vote out all currupted politicians including traitors and potential dictators.

The President has breached his mandate and would find it hard to obtain even 10% of peoples vote. Therefore he should resign based on his own arguments. The JO has a duty to impeach MS. If not the whole of Sri Lanka runs the risk of International Sanction as well as losing its Sovereignty to the Chinese,

They should have gone through the legal process rather than appointing MR on a weekend. They might be worried of the numbers in their side.

President should resign and call for a fresh election. Parliament election should be next. JO wants to actlike good boys and grab the parliament first and then aim the President post. How we are governed is more important than who governs.

It's a good decision to have fresh elections. Let's see who hold people's power. Country should not move with this kind of uncertainty

Looks like the "Horse Deals" have failed. Now they are lookin for a 2/3 majority with the help of the UNP to dissolve parliament. The UNP should not support it and let the JO run the country for the next 1 1/2 years. I was free fuel and all the goodies during this time.

Very disappointed with our President who has led to this mess when a clear leadership was needed. It is not too late to make a u turn and act accordingly with constitution and democratic values. Remember who elected you first and protect those voters democratic values!!!

UNP will not support for this. Because they can't win another election under Ranil`s leadership

Yes, form a government with all rapists, killers and rogues. SL is one country that cannot be saved. Thanks for all MR and his family supporters. All can go to hell together

Every election hereon will have 5.4 million slaves offering slavery to MR. Opposing camp should consider this vote base when formulating plans.

Gentlemen not so fast. The responsible for this undemocratic move need to be impeached before parliament is dissolved. The JVP will chip in.

All the legal cases pending against them can be hushed up. What a country.

It is crystal clear now that this government is going to be a very short lived one. JO would push for an General Election as soon as they make sure that there won't be any court cases against any of them in future. They know that under the present circumstances they would also get unpopular if they govern even for the remaining short period. They would rather go for a fresh mandate of five year whilst the atmosphere is still in their favour. JO stalwarts not taking any ministerial posts (so the posts could be offered to the crossovers) shows it very clearly. Anyway, all those are ominous signals to the MP's who are planning to cross over
