Of course the UNP will support, because this is against the govt. If the UNP was in power, then it will be the other way around.

They do these dramas occasionally. The last being Sarath Fonseka's election campaign. But when time comes, they drop the batton and run away.

Uni. Academics played a major role in bringing MR into power. Now UNP is backing them against the govt. One of the finest jokes of the year

UNP & JVP will back anything, anytime that looks like anti MR regime. They are such dumb fools who do not realize that they are offering bonuses to MR to stay longer!
