No way should Parliament be extended. This is done by the Rajapakses for their hidden diabolical agenda which will be exposed very soon.

The war is over - people are supposed to live without fear. We are having a Subha Anagathayak. Prabha is dead. Fonseka is behind bars. Then why is there an eternal State of Emergency?

Shame shame and more shame on the UNP - or did they have a back door deal with govt for all to be absent. At least if they voted and there was emergency vote defeated, many in remand will be free.

This govt is suppressing the people's rights by using the emergency. Can they give one solid reason for this?

Why not declare curfew so the goons could have a "Fair Election"?

Spineless, Gutless UNP. The General will get more votes than Ranil because of this type of behaviour. .
