    "Why not Malani she will be the star attraction in Parliament after Ex-President Chandrika." Aren't you sick of all those other faces?

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:32 AM

    AZWAR???? I think 'MR' needs a Tamil Translator (LoL) .... !!!!

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:34 AM

    and not forgetting bribery

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:35 AM

    we have a prime minister who can sing songs in parlimant

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:55 AM

    This is a very good lesson for monkeys who jump. Farewell Wee Jay Moo. But why an ageing actress? Was it to counter young Pabha?

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:57 AM

    Why the old communist guard, why Azwer, why Malini??? Should have put some young professionals like what Ranil did.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 11:11 AM

    I see only two names suitable. Tissa Vithrana & Rajiv
    wish people like Dayan J. Harra de Silva, and some guys under 55 years with proven record.

    Kurna- not again

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 11:35 AM

    Parliament sessions will be very nice to see. Malini, Paba, Ranjan, Sanath, Arjuna .......

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 11:42 AM

    Too many who have crossed 60 years of age. How many will last the full term? Those who have missed the opportunity this time, need not despair. They will get other opportunities when vacancies will surely occur thru natural causes.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 11:48 AM

    Vijamu is already named though not published.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 11:55 AM

    Bogol's will have to spend money from his own pocket for B'day parties !.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 10:07 AM

    What a pathetic list. Where is Sri Lanka heading?

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 12:20 PM

    Shah... All the mega stars are in the parliament now.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 12:38 PM

    what is the share of All Ceylon Muslim Congress, Shame on you Mr Athaullah and Co

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 12:51 PM

    To Lionel good-conclusion-Aiyyo that Prof: Vitha will take us for another ride through the wilderness on APC-
    UPFA must start a home for the aged!

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 01:02 PM

    It isa shame to appoint a monk when the government should discourage priests in active poltics.

    Gamini Fonseka did a service to the country as a politician and we knew what he stood for. But Malini? It is a wasted oppertunity to give a young talent to serve the country.

    This shows the leaders are taking us for a ride.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 01:04 PM

    Where is Muzammil Weerawansa.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 01:37 PM

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 01:38 PM

    Good list! They have not included any defeated candidates which is very good thing. And they stuck to what they said.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 07:47 AM

    This time all educated people have lost or either scored less than 50,000 votes and either thugs or people who have no experience in politics have won.....!!!

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 07:50 AM

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:25 AM

    Two third majority for over 65 years MPs

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:58 AM

    As we all know UPFA has full of THUGS and UNEDUCATED guys, So they would have select full of Educated and Efficient Team under the List.. in Colombo People like Fowzi who worked a lot and 30 Yrs of polotical life went down the bottom of the manapa list where as people who spent a lot and No experience got into the Top, see How inteligent our voters are.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:14 AM

    Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan...... :-)))))

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:16 AM

    There may be heartburns but this is a perfect choice.Iam happy to see Mr. Sooriayapperuma and Miss Kamala Ranatunge in the list.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:19 AM

    Defenders of MR and his politics have been duly rewarded. Not a bad lot. Yet I hope they will have the courage to vote to get rid of the preferential voting system, knowing it would dig their own grave.

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:32 AM

    Malinie Fonseka? Seriously?

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:35 AM

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:47 AM

    Where is WJM Lokubandara..I thought he crossed over because he was promised a seat from the national list!!! Poor little greedy fellow..This is what we called " Allapu Atthath nehe, Paya gahapu atthath nehe"

    Wednesday, 21 April 2010 09:58 AM

    How come Aswar the Joker is in? what can we expect of him, waste of a seat, should have consider a good person not a joker. Any way deck of cards carry 2 jokers.
