    How do people reject the candidates if they can come again thru national list, it seems the only option people have is bullet and not ballot.

    chamara Friday, 21 August 2015 05:53 PM

    Is this democracy . How can you implement the good gavanance politican whos rejected by the people. This practic is not agreed with basic democary principle.

    clueless Friday, 21 August 2015 06:02 PM

    Absolutely disgusting. Who was responsible for this? Old secretary or the new? Hats off to UNP on theirs

    Johnna Friday, 21 August 2015 06:06 PM

    WHERE ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRACY OF MY3, PEOPLE WHO PRAISED ABOUT HIS GREAT BOLD DEMOCRATIC DECISIONS?

    roger Friday, 21 August 2015 06:23 PM

    My friend yes I agree with your comments, but the problem is the party CC needs them as it lacks off talented politicos with money

    Aquarius Friday, 21 August 2015 06:30 PM

    Voters sent them home but the party brings them back. What was the point in asking to vote only for the clean and the best?

    Chandrasiri Friday, 21 August 2015 06:32 PM

    Why president brought SB who even lost his electorate by more than 10,000 votes

    Rubert Friday, 21 August 2015 06:35 PM

    Indeed. Prof GL, Prof Rajiva are Mahinda supporters and have been overlooked. This is pathetic.

    surasena Friday, 21 August 2015 06:42 PM

    Dear Dilan as you manged to hop to the parliament through the National List, the bottles of Poisson, in your closet, can be sent to Tissa and to GL. Make sure that works.

    patriot Friday, 21 August 2015 06:46 PM

    MY3 is to be blamed for all this, rejected by people and bring these SHIT thru national list, I respect UNP more though I am not a fan.

    patriot Friday, 21 August 2015 06:47 PM

    Is the chairman of the party for the list, shame on UPFA.

    garawi Friday, 21 August 2015 06:54 PM

    This is a very good reason that we should go back to the pre 78 system!

    Hubert Friday, 21 August 2015 05:51 PM

    we are the most unfortunate nation as we are continuing to see these ugly faces

    shantha gamlath Friday, 21 August 2015 06:57 PM

    Timely need decision.

    patriot Friday, 21 August 2015 07:21 PM

    We expect gentleman politician Mahinda Samarasinghe may not accept, if he accept, is also the same SHIT.

    Zuhrudeen mohamed Saturday, 22 August 2015 10:30 AM

    What is the meaning of this candidates defeated and rejected by the voters are re erected by the national list.Then why an election was held? If this act is justified where and what is the justification towards those whose names were listed before the election.from the other side defeated candidates must understand that they are rejected by the people no.

    ranjith Chandrasekera Saturday, 22 August 2015 07:27 PM

    None of the rejected candidates should be appointed through the national list. It is a joke when voters rejected them as unsuitable to be in the parliament.

    Dayawathie Sunday, 23 August 2015 11:23 AM

    TJ Friday, 21 August 2015 05:35 PM

    What happened to Karu?

    Raj Friday, 21 August 2015 05:09 PM

    Why did they give national list slot for a politician like S.B. Dissanayake who was rejected by the people together with his son?

    Navin Friday, 21 August 2015 05:09 PM

    A losers hostel

    Sampath Fernando Friday, 21 August 2015 05:09 PM

    this is a shame decision. if they thought that they would loose, they could have been in the national list. like Mr. Dilan Perera did. every one who vote for UPLF, lost their faith. not only voters for UPLF but all voters should raise their voice for this decision in appointing defeaters. the constitution should amend to prevent this type of appointments. how part appoint MPs defeat at the people votes though national list. Pro. Wijesinghe and rest of list of other members should raise their voice.

    Mansoor Friday, 21 August 2015 05:10 PM

    What ever the circumstances the losers should not be in the parliament. Thank god at least one party still follows the democracy principles. Hats off UNP

    kan Friday, 21 August 2015 05:12 PM

    rejected by people and reinstated by a few, what a country.

    Amila Friday, 21 August 2015 05:15 PM

    Mata hina yanawa...............................

    Bippity Boppity Boo Friday, 21 August 2015 05:16 PM

    Agree. The UPFA list is crap. They should be given a good hoot and be left in the opposition.

    Hiru Friday, 21 August 2015 05:17 PM

    What about Prasanna Solangaarachchi, he work hard for President MY3

    surasena Friday, 21 August 2015 05:30 PM

    And now they will demand Ministerial Portfolios: this is a country like no other.

    chaaminda weerkoon Friday, 21 August 2015 05:31 PM

    what a shame for Sri Lankan Politics

    Giabao Friday, 21 August 2015 05:35 PM

    where is "colomba haadaya" LOLwhat a joke MS camp has become to do these kind of bankrupt undemocratic things. I really appreciate UNP stance in this regard. Of course MS has no principles.

    chams Friday, 21 August 2015 05:07 PM

    This is ridiculous! Might as well cancel the national list concept if you want to revive candidates rejected by people.

    Fassey Friday, 21 August 2015 05:37 PM

    Hats off to PM for his policy of not taking the rejected lot through the national list. UPFA no policy and no quality.

    Besel Friday, 21 August 2015 05:38 PM

    Missed Sarath Amunugama from the list

    Fathy Friday, 21 August 2015 05:39 PM

    At least we cleaned the parliament a little by sending a few home... But they are back.. Disappointed

    Upul Friday, 21 August 2015 05:40 PM

    You are 200% correct. People rejected them for some reason, and they shouldnt be appointed again. Theruwan saranai ! ; andGod bless SRI LANKA.

    Yapa Friday, 21 August 2015 05:41 PM

    These rejects will soon appear in the cabinet.

    gayan Friday, 21 August 2015 05:44 PM

    This is crap.. now u know where MY3 is leading the UPFA and SLFP. He is destroying the party.

    Chatura Friday, 21 August 2015 05:45 PM
