The utter spineless duplicity of these SLFP MP's is clearly seen. So the people will yet again send these dishonest duplicitous treasonous people to Parliament should there be a General election?? It is 'Over to the people' now, more than ever.. MM

SLPP marriage proposal with SLFP is betrayed again. Famous Kapuwa is absconding.
