If President or Speaker cant convene, Supreme Court has fullpower to give the verdict taking into consideration of the public and international out cry.But there should be a petition first.

If you are genuine you should vote against MR. If you refrain from voting, then you are agreeing to MR's appointment.

Here comes the most feared man on earth over the new appointment made by president. He knew that their party has no place when Sri lanka has a strong govt.

Anura, you could visit Prime Minister's residence and have a debate there as parliament is prorogued.
