All this not because we have a strong government, but we have a weak opposition.

Dear Michael...ranil is a proven failure...18 years and the losses keep mounting..it is patently clear that he cannot unite the party..if he has any love for the party(which i doubt) he should step down now...

Even at a drop of a hat, explanations are demanded by the High Command. This should stop; if not Sri Kotha will soon be left only with Ranil and Tissa.

Mr. Wickremesinghe, You are the leader of the party. Why should you call for report about Dayasiri through a third party? Why can't you call Dayasiri straight and ask him what this all about? Be a real leader!

It is easier to say to step down and who will take over ??? Sajith realised that taking over a party without having experience being in government is like taking over a ship which has not sailed for a long time. I agree with you totally about having people from colombo trying to appeal to the masses. This is where RW should let go and call upon Sajith and Dayasiri to form TWO teams under their direction to spear head campaigns in different areas. RW's experience is required to ensure that issues pertaining to international matters , parliamentary matters and finance is concerned. These are issues which require statesmanship.

What is all this nonsense of reports and disciplinary action. You clowns are acting like a personnel department in a garment factory. Dayasiri, you don't even have to reply to any of this garbage. Just tear it up and shove it , you know where !

Michael Ranasinghe Tuesday, 14 August 2012 08:38 AM

I have worked for Ranil's campaign when he was elected Prime Minister and i know that there is none who could match his knowledge and admin skills. The issue he is facing is that he is not cut out to be one who could get the rural crowd moved. I have read that this was the same situation that prevailed in 1977 when JRJ campaigned. This is why he had a super team of Ranasinghe Premadasa , Lalith Athulathmudali ,Gamini Disanayake and Anandatissa De Alwis who rallied the masses for JRJ . This is what the UNP should do without fighting the leader. Once the party comes into power Ranil knowing the person he is will anyway have the likes of Sajith and Dayasiri as the people to take over after him.
