Ranil will come through the National list, after keeping it vacant about one year as last time. Otherwise, what's the purpose of being the leader of the UNP?

Hina Hina What a joke Friday, 11 October 2024 06:15 PM

What a joker, from young age creeping from the back door. All the crooked steps already learnt. The Presidential candidate and the leader of the SLPP has no backbone whatsoever!

Yes, it's a clear indication that Pohttuwa party has been becoming and varnishing from the Srilankan political filed. However ever MR wants to keep his insides the parliament. Power greedy people people should have to chase them away forever.

Namal's only chance is from the National list. You and the whole Rajapakse have been rejected by people. Your family robbed the country, involved in corruptions.

SECOND MIRACLE WILL COME DOWN AND BLOW UP THIS GAS CYLINDER TOO Friday, 11 October 2024 07:24 PM

THIS SCUMBAG HAS THE NERVE TO CROSS FROM SLPP KNOWING WELL SLPP WILL NOT STAND A DOGS CHANCE OF EVEN HAVING ONE OF THEM ELECTED INTO GOVT, SO HE SUCKS EVENTUALLY UP TO RANIL AND JOINS THE GAS CYLINDER "WHAT A COME DOWN". RANIL ON THE OTHER HAND HAS NOT A OUNCE OF SHAME. WHAT A COME DOWN IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE, HE AND HIS GAS CYLINDER COULDN'T GET HIM IN AS PRESIDENT, SO HE DECIDES NOT TO CONTEST GENERAL ELECTIONS, BUT GOT A IDEA OF OPTING OUT AND ORGANISING ANOTHER ANOTHER FRONT WITH DINESH AS HEAD OF THE STOOGES, VERY BAD MISTAKE ONCE AGAIN THE GAS CYLINDER WILL BLOW UP IN ALL THEIR FACES. I ALSO SEE RUWAN IS NOT ON THAT LIST, HOPE HE HAS DECIDED TO STAY OUT OF ALLIANCES AND STICK TO UNP AND SEE IF HE CAN REVIVE THE PARTY, HE HAS 5 YEARS TO WORK A MIRACLE.

EXCELLENT list. As promised lot of new blood. Many professionals. Except all the losers on the top and the “new blood” on the bottom. They still think people are fools. Bet Clown prince will barely make it. The rest can just wait for the next one.

Like Ranil coming to Parliament from the national list there could be an outside chance for Namal to come from the National List. Namal, you talk big why didn't you decide to contest? Dada boy our Appachchi too kept away knowing his fate This is Diththadhammavedaneeya karma on all of you

Anusha Dsmayanthi looks like having done her role to get into this list. Namal must be a satisfied customer.

AHAMED Saturday, 12 October 2024 07:54 AM

Nowadays, nobody knows the purpose of creating a National list, Namal is a young politician starting his career from a National list, showing the corrupted thinking. The public still needs to decide to vote wisely.

Namal baby you will have to wait for another 20 years to be a matured politician, before that you better study well and get through the GCE (O/L).

MR should have done lot of things gor this country. They would have implemented 13th amendment and got international support to develop the country. Nothing done but robbed sampath of this country and go home with shame. Tamils are intelligent because they refused MR and Co. In 2010 totally

Let him sit in Parliament till the new constitution is formulated. It will not provide for nominated MP's.

President needs to convict all the crooks as soon as possible otherwise he will not know what hit him. They have all the knowhow of the government machinery, connections and money. The government cannot rely on majority of the present judiciary as most of them are corrupt and benefited from corruption. So the cleaning should start from the judicial system. Again if the president does not expedite convicting these crooks his government is in great danger

Since Namal has no guts to contest the election, he must handover the leadership of SLPP to Shashindra Rajapaksa or some other person who has the guts to contest the election.
