This may be the last election the UNP is contesting under their present constitution, but if they do not do well this could become the LAST ELECTION they contest. Irrespective of whatever is being said about the UNP, without this party the last of the semblance of democracy that appears to be there in our country will surely disappear.

Meaning is this the last lost in an election?

In other words, it will be a last election lost for OL RW or UNP

Why do UNP contest in elections and wast their money, rather they can spend them it social service

Party must strategically reform to feel that the general public to convince. Blaming to governemnet is wasting of time. Leaders are responsible for this situation.

Dear Gayantha. If constitution change never bring to development of UNP. Suitable leader must need to chair. But no quality man in side the party to lead the UNP. It is very sad as a UNP voter.

PRESIDENT Monday, 24 January 2011 10:25 AM

This election will be the last election for UNP. after that no more party.

yYhiya is wrong. there are 'cannines and donkeys' as leadership aspirants, ask Ravi and Sajith

nimal gune Monday, 24 January 2011 03:44 PM

The problem with the UNP is NOT the constitution. The problem with the UNP is a the leader. If you dont change the leader, no matter what constitution you will lose.

Very true, Leslie. Amazing how Ranil doesn't realise that there is much more at stake than his ego.
