    Sajith Premadasa should be appointed as our PM, no sooner Ranil quits. Even SLFP will render the fullest support for this move.

    Shiromi Tuesday, 03 April 2018 04:58 PM

    I do not agree Sajith should be the PM. What

    Ruwan Ratnapala Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:38 PM

    Send him off or chase him, but after that form up a parliament with only 30 Ministers and appoint Mahinda as PM.

    Vijith Pieterz Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:39 PM

    This is the last chance to remove Ranil, boys tie your boots and fight until he resigns or other-wise, throw him out.

    Ceylon Lover Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:40 PM

    First Ranil, then next - Sirisena, come on guys.... we don't want both.

    The UNP is cleverly forcing the SLFP into a trap and earning the public sympathy.

    Rukshan Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:52 PM

    The UNP knows that with its anti-Sri Lanka policies it cannot return to power easily. So it is crying, weeping and wallowing.

    Nayana Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:53 PM

    What happened to the empty bravado of big mouth Rajitha?

    Mudali Tuesday, 03 April 2018 01:57 PM

    The SLFP-UNP union should continue without Ranil, Mangala, Rajitha, Chandrika and Malik.

    johan Tuesday, 03 April 2018 02:30 PM

    What about Susila ,Dilan they are spies for MR

    SN Tuesday, 03 April 2018 03:00 PM

    Your right else the SLFP will resign from parliament as initially planned.

    lalith Tuesday, 03 April 2018 03:14 PM

    It is the ministers of SLFP and president who should resign..Ranil should lead the country with a stick.

    Rasheed Tuesday, 03 April 2018 04:12 PM

    Well said, it is the President who did not approve SF for Law and Order Ministry.

    Reviewcric Tuesday, 03 April 2018 10:06 PM

    What a joke... the SLFP couldn't even beat the JVP this time and they are demanding. They should resign with Mr clean!
