    I don't say RW is the best. He is 1000 times better than MR and Gang. Our country is saved from the Gang again.

    Duleep Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:18 PM

    Sri Lanka is the loser!

    mike Thursday, 05 April 2018 12:23 PM

    tell me one good thing RW did last 03 yrs. most of MR corrupt gang is with yahapalanaya. massive development during MR time

    Saman Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:11 PM

    So majority thinks RW is innocent? Money, vehicle, and racial agendas wins. But not for too long. Wait until the next election.

    Waruna Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:20 PM

    The real mood of the nation was reflected during the LG polls.

    nimal Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:13 PM

    robert Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:14 PM

    abc Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:14 PM

    MR and company should go home now. We don't want any more of your destruction, opportunism, hypocrisy and madness. Please go.

    xyz Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:22 PM

    Who protects MR and Company. Ranil W himself. Who doesn't let law enforcement take necessary actions to be taken against those culprits. Ranil W.

    PapaShango Thursday, 05 April 2018 02:18 PM

    LOL. after all these years you still think there's animosity between MR and RW? putha they are helping each other out.

    Patriot Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:15 PM

    Let the unp form it's own government n take the country forward sans corruption or bribery.

    Deshamamaka Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:20 PM

    UNP is as corrupted as SLFP or Pohottuwa. They protect each other for the greed of power. Country had been going backwards since 1948.

    Mohamed Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:15 PM

    RFM Dineshan Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:17 PM

    Lawry Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:20 PM

    At least sanity prevailed this time. Otherwise it would have been like being angry with the river and refusing to do ones ablusions.

    Ruban Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:21 PM

    Sam Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:21 PM

    All parliamentarians won No Confidence Motion as this just a DRAMA inside the parliament. We, poor citizens lost confidences against all parliamentarian.....!

    johan Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:22 PM

    Unp Mps now do not look at the SLFP or JO. Let them do whateverthey want but you concentrate on Development Go forward because they will try their maximum effort to paralyse the government. Hand Over the Law and order ministry to SF he will handle that matter

    Kumara Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:25 PM

    Rajapakas will never unite the whole islanders. They are a spent force.

    Prakash Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:25 PM

    It was a known drama unfolding to fool the masses. JO wanted to show they were doing something but in essence they wanted to ensure their no longer prosecuted, for which RW agreed.

    Fernando Wednesday, 04 April 2018 10:27 PM

    Well done Mr. Prime Minister.. Leave the unity government and form a UNP government with the blessings of President..God Bless my country...God saved y country once again.

    Now the SLPP guys will have to use a 'pohottu' to stop the 'loose motion'
