We can now what's going to happen in the next two years now itself. Think its better all of including MR get together and finish this (country) off once and for all because none of you did anything for us other than looting our money and made your lives better.

Ajim Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:59 PM

MR Robbed more than any Political Leader in Asia ...Still stupid people in Sri Lanka wants him to rob more...he will make the country like North Korea

Scooby Doo Thursday, 15 February 2018 03:09 PM

Actually, Our ministers wanna make their leaders happy not the people.

Unchikun Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:21 PM

Sir, you need two to tango.

Gamaya Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:38 PM

And who is the UNP going to tango with? The UPFA says no. Be realistic for once

Sanath Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:21 PM

Good, and should take proactive decisions keeping in mind the mandate they received at the last gen elections.

Gamaya Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:22 PM

MR would be delighted. His Insurance (RW) remains !

Kumar Friday, 16 February 2018 04:49 PM

Ryan Hudson Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:27 PM

You are playing games with the future of people, next two years of our lives wasted

Wijebahu Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:18 PM

Lion Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:27 PM

Lucky Weeamantry Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:28 PM

Yes That's The Best Suggestion. But There Should Be A Genuine Clean Up.

Vajira Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:35 PM

You guys cant change PM thats the bottom line others like or not should move till voting base zero for UNP. via DM Android App

aza Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:39 PM

UNP should form a government without UPFA ,useless guys couldnot win he elections and blaming UNP for their inability ,is there any guy in UPFA that is worth keeping

Anil panagoda Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:40 PM

I think it's the right decision under the circumstances. We need political stability in order to complete the projects start ed and to attract the much required FDI's.

RI Thursday, 15 February 2018 01:52 PM

Due to the bond scam EFP lost 26 billion on the bond scam. I don't care who rules I want my money back. It is the hard earned money of the private sector employees that you are looted. Need an answer for that first then decide who is going to rule.

Sumathipala Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:01 PM

Upon receipt of instructions from our masters...

chams Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:08 PM

Nothing will happen! These guys will continue to rip us off and again next set of guys will do the same after getting elected.

Laltih Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:09 PM

After SLPP won local election, Rupees became weak and we got more exchange rate. Thanks to SLPP for weakening the Rupees again. Now lets see how we can reduce the cost of living with weak Rupees.

lion Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:09 PM

one more suggestion stop the doctors and railway strikes. These too contributed for your loss. Introduce a very effective mechanism . Shelve self pride and arrogance. If you loos Mara will be back with flying colors and that is the end of right thinking people of this country.

vasaliya Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:13 PM

MR safe for another two years after which he can cakewalk to 5/6th majority........better to migrate now rather than see this shit happening in our life.

"Unity government will focus on a new set of goals and objectives" to fool the people again for the next 2 years. Yes you said it but not all the people are fools or not all the time you can fool people Mr Kabir. (Kabir means BIG in Urdu and Arabic) So he is big for BULLSHIT.

Adrian Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:24 PM

When the appointed committee consists of his own lackeys what can you expect. Party is doomed

Strategist Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:28 PM

As advised by the US and India.....Do the rest of the term and bring some stability to the country....otherwise next election outcome will be even worse...

Prasad Thursday, 15 February 2018 04:32 PM

This government is a failure. ...that's it
