Sorry for the pessimism, but whoever comes in this team, it will be just "old wine in new bottle" with the exception of Sajith Premadasa. He may influence a positive change.

Ranil should remain as PM till the next elections. Handover the UNP to Sajith. The UNP would surely turn its tables.

We have all respect for Karu J. But, if he becomes the PM he will create a record by being the PM of Sri Lanka for the shortest duration.The message from the people to this regime is clear. Go!

In January 2005, he came through the back-door, Very soon he will leave through the back-door. His resigning alone will not reverse the trend. The point of no return has been reached.

Indecent and shameless power greedy people still try to hold onto office and deceive us when you all are rejected by us at the local polls let alone a general election.

Local authority elections are to elect people to clean drains, garbage etc. A loss there does not mean that the mandate of parliament ceases. How stupid!

Yes, you are correct. Hon Sajith Premadasa is a vibrant politician and would be an IDEAL choice.

There has to be a quick solution for you differences. All of you want to to cling to power. If MR has any power the country will go back to the dark era. So set aside your power hungry ideas and think of the country first. You all speak country first but your actions are different.

I don’t know what’s going on in the head of MS! If it’s the debacle at the local election then it’s him who should resign before RW. MS-the-confused man!

I would say Ranil leaves way for Sajith Premadasa to take over UNP. This is best for the country. If Mahinda is allowed to take over the country, there is no doubt family politics will start and the West will not support our nation. We all know the value of West, but the RAJAPAKSES clans think otherwise.

The present president is not a genuine man because when he was a Health Minister, How JMO Colombo deliberately ignored his duty on Mohamed Dajudeen murder case, Do anyone believe that MR didn't order to his Health Minister. His Brother Dudly Srisena is direct responsible for rice price gone up. Do he is a clean hand. How can he involve UNP matter.

WHY ARE THE RULING PARTY STALWARTS PANICKING FOR JO EXCITEMENT. IT WAS NOT A PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION. SLPP DID NOT GET EVEN 50% OF THE VOTES. VOTERS HAVE VOICED THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT OVER INACTION OF THE GOVT TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE ROGUES

This problem could have been sorted if this election is treated as a provincial council election and the vote against the govt by the people. But The Govt doesn't have to bow down to the verdict immediately, but continue until the next elections with the new set up.People has the right to vote to whom they please. but The Govt has to run the country until the next election with out further unnecessary protests with the opposition and previous rulers.As we can see the people will never get what they want any govt, although the candidates do make promises they can never fulfill.But the Govt has to continue with all odds until the Next elections.Their will be the opposition trying their level best to Topple Govt but They should not continue with it as the people has given their displeasure and protest in the Elections.Let the Govt correct their mistakes and continue for the progress and well being of its citizens.May God Help you the Govt in this marathon task
