Judging by the rate the UNP is eroding, it is possible only Ranil Wickramasinghe will be left in the party by the next time an election happens .

The UNP was destroyed by the reformists - taking an internal issue into a public issue ably supported by the Maharajahs

Herman Gunaratne is a friend of the government. If the rally was peaceful as anti-Ranil protesters claim, why bring a gun in the first place?

I am sure this man has been framed.

Herman is a hardworking man who brings millions to Sri Lanka exporting value added teas.

All these problems arose as there was no democracy in the UNP. Otherwise, no need for road closures and restrictions on the UNP conventions.

People of this ignorant nation will never understand the value of people like Ranil Wickremasinghe. Selfish Ignorant Citizens will always get Selfish Ignorant Leaders.

These people are engaging in a contract with the government to destroy the UNP. Popular media institution is backing them by giving necessary media coverage to them.
