Anyway ; NPP leads all polls and Sajth and Ranil will be 2 and 3 third places ..NPP will have more 55% votes and Ranil and Sajtih will pack the bags and go home ..I wonder if they contest next parliament election as well..this is the ground reality acorridng many polls .
NPP has a clean vision and mission and let us have a peaceful country for all.
Bright future under NPP.
Corruption free country
Fraud free country .

You're right. This is the truth, we have had enough of this lying and looting by rogues masquerading as saviours.

Prob is no one will get more than 50% and than they will take to count the 2nd preference. For sure Namal will win 2nd preference votes and he will become the PRESIDENT.
AKD, SP

NPP / JVP too responsible as ministers with Chandrika and canvassing for Mahinda in 2005 after Mahinda's swindling of Helping Hambanthota. They destroyed the public properties in 1971 and 1988-1990, too.

SL can have a corruption free country only when it's citizens are also uncorrupt.
You cannot have a population that is largely corrupt in every walk of left and expect it's political leaders to be uncorrupt

You're spot on all the politicians in the past are corrupt and thieves and JVP and the supporters are all saints highly disciplined and they even don't know what corruption is. Most jvp supporters packed in the public service are bribe takers from the lowest labourer up the ranks. This menace is deep rooted. First to get on to the roads on the drop of a hat are these fellows they never allow any reform to take place and fear down to the bone the moment they hear the word privatisation. Can someone rise up and say they will transform themselves for the sake of their mentors and secondly for the country, if this happens probability of sun rising from the west is

It is true, why blame only the politician when the general public from all walk of life is corrupt. Few examples get into a bus in the morning conductor will play you out at least for a rupee then a beggar will approach you and will fleece you for at least 20 rupees then the three wheelers, go to a government department, etc it is day light robbery. Sri Lanka is a corrupt society.

This looks a game , jumping to SJB from Pohottuwa, some jumps from SJB to UNP and vice versa . These spectacles are none existent in NPP. So it easy to decide the party one must vote

Have thought out all reasons why these spectacles are not existent in NPP. Could it be that no one wants to back a side full of rhetoric and no experience and no real vision except 'we will do' with no specifics. Has AKD said anyone by name who he has refused to accept or only big talk they will not take anyone to boost temselves.

Appears to be dumb in arithmetic and wearing dark spectacles too
NPP has 3 MPs. Obviously where to ? AND how to jump?
to another bandwagon . Jumping in JVP started long ago when their Propaganda Secretary විමල් Weerawansa and few other JVP MPs jumped to Jarapaksha clan in 2004. AKD went with bandwagon to Jarapaksha in 2010 .He did somersault in 2015 to Sirisena.
Poor memories on recent history.

Sajith is gaining ground, Mahinda is fading, Namal is in quandary, this is Srilankan cheap politics.

I don't know any of these guys personally but this particular guy was critical of the govt including the SLPP/Gota govt. while he was a govt MP. I have seen this many times in TV talk shows. He seem to be a person who believes in something and fights for it even within his own party. Having the guts to take on the Rajapaksha's in their own party is not easy. I also noticed he talked a lot of sense in these TV talk shows. Not sure if he is also another person who only talks. Maybe people who have interacted with him can give more insight.

When the Prez Election is nearing and AKD is likely to beat other candidates, several questions have arisen as to whether they enough competent people to support Anura to govern thd country. Besides him only two other members from his party were elected to parliament. If he wins and cannot find suitable ppl, his govt will collapse in six months. This is the concern of some of his supporters. At party rallies the speakers have a duty to explain this to his party supporters to win votes.

If at all, and since the Voters decide, it's perhaps better to endorse than to support.

We cannot forget how the Country was held to ransom by the JVP ( now NPP) during '71 '83 and '88 YEARS. a Leopard NEVER changes its spots even IF you call him by any other name. DON'T trust these buggers. Kick them on their butts once and for all !

Jagath Kumara will be an asset for Sajith, no doubt. He knows all the hidden secrets of MR
