I Hussein Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:06 AM

Cos' he didnt know how to fool the poor rural souls and doesnt know to deliver out dated, pro-socialist/patriotic sets of statements/speaches in Sinhalese.

dsr-neckar Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:19 AM

If UNP want to win next presidential election, all senior UNPers should resign and re-organize with new leaders. Otherwise, UNP will not win next two presidential elections, that means another 18 years!!!

kumudini Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:21 AM

Chandana Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:35 AM

Heamu Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:38 AM

NED GUNGA Sunday, 12 December 2010 11:47 AM

For peopole like you only can enjoy WIN for LTTE suporters at London as a victory for yourself. Shame at you...........

Leticia Sunday, 12 December 2010 12:58 PM

Congratulations UNP. I think Sri Lanka is on its way to having a brand new government that will usher in true peace and prosperity to our beloved motherland.

kumudini-wake up Sunday, 12 December 2010 01:34 PM

The only people who don't care are the ones who making money from the chinthana regime being in power - others do !!

MR & Ranil company never allow the UNP to head up

THOMAS Sunday, 12 December 2010 02:39 PM

Well done. A united opposition is a great boom for democracy in this country.

Apsara Sunday, 12 December 2010 03:05 PM

Chase out all the cuprits from SL politics.

Now the UNP has to ensure that in future elections would be free and Fair, which is a daunting task! but achievable

dan Sunday, 12 December 2010 03:18 PM

yeah but UNP is talking against the capitalist policies now...

nagu Sunday, 12 December 2010 03:20 PM

Hold on Nagu....it will take another year to select a New leader....These all are delaying tactics of RW & his clan.

pissu balla Sunday, 12 December 2010 05:19 PM

RW will be MR's strength as usual. It won't change by amending the UNP constitution.

KD Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:13 PM

Basically he knows nothing.

jay Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:50 PM

Senior UNP members ( Ranil, Karu and gang)have to retire first.
Then the party is going to be OK. With out this is useless.

Anchorage Monday, 13 December 2010 12:16 AM

So Sajith has already been appointed leader? Congratulations.

Old wine in a new glass

Wijebahu Monday, 13 December 2010 03:21 AM

This is not a god news for Royal Family and Frogs who jumped out of the party for perks giving various excuses.

Sue Monday, 13 December 2010 04:11 AM

Ranil lost because he's a gentleman politician and his election tactics and mannerisms are not to the likeing of the Sinhalese of today.

Matara kolla Monday, 13 December 2010 05:14 PM

Changing the pillow does not cure a headache. We now await the next big change.

palitha kulasinghe Monday, 13 December 2010 05:29 PM

Very true

Wickrama Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:52 AM

Most happiest day in my life - Thanks God

Ranjan Sunday, 12 December 2010 06:45 AM

Finally we will have a BETTER UNP to provide releif for the poor working class. Hope by April things will start rolling.

Ryan Sunday, 12 December 2010 06:56 AM

Our grand old party will be back in power with a record number of MP's in the history of Sri Lanka sooner than any one might think..Hats off to Hon.RW..he kept his end of the bargain..UNP all the way.. :)

Nalith Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:13 AM

UNP was always against the working class and poor. Earlier days UNP stands for wealthiest people in the country. Even today it is for capitalist class. So called new leader Sajith is living in Royal Park.

Labby Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:14 AM

Well said Ryan, your comment is well received.

Kumara Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:15 AM

Congratulations...Let us hope a revival in the political landscape in Sri Lanka under a people selected, charismatic and educated leader.

demon Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:16 AM

this is my thought as well...good luck UNP...

poor people are waiting with lots of hope...

KD Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:20 AM

What a joke.

Sandun Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:21 AM

Condradulations, There should be an strong opposition to restore staled democracy in our country.

Sandun Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:22 AM

Congradulations, It seems democracy can be restored.

UNP till death.... Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:26 AM

Ranil tried his best to stop the reforms with Ravi K., Vajira and the crowd....

anpan Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:42 AM

God bless Lanka. We cannot wait for the reinvigorated UNP that defends & respects medis, democracy, human rights, and above boost our economy. This will be the end of family rule.

Hora Poosah Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:45 AM

Yes, we must support and ensure that UNP is a strong opposition...We must keep the present Govt in check as they are plundering and cheating and more so getting away with every possibe fraud and corrupt activity.

Yehiya-Doha Sunday, 12 December 2010 06:34 AM

Good news to Sri lanka

nalith-wake up Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:56 AM

Nalith...everybody is a capitalist these days - you think the current government is doing its duties to the working class and poor?...you must be dreaming

Kekille Sunday, 12 December 2010 07:57 AM

Hmmmmmm.... Coming colors not good..

selvyn Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:05 AM

The rejuvenated party which has stood for economic prosperity will hopefully bulldoze through the future political encounters as the government is overwhelmed with cronies, minions and lackeys, who are instead of public service, scheming their own agendas.

Ossan Salam - Doha Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:10 AM

Congratulations for clothing undressed & deaf elephant

dcasd Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:19 AM

Really??? Was the last budget favourable towards the working class and the poor? I suppose all the leftists like Vasu are serving the working class now.

dcasd Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:20 AM

Very true. I think a change is coming, the Oxford Union was the turning point.

communist ass Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:21 AM

We have seen that the so-called capitalist UNP has done more for the working class than anyone else.

Berty Sunday, 12 December 2010 08:45 AM

At last:
Better late than never.
But- its just the beginning- Hang on - Long way to go.

suneth Sunday, 12 December 2010 09:30 AM

One who against the capital & entrepreneurship of that country is only a traitor of that country.

jANA Sunday, 12 December 2010 10:12 AM

Does any body know why the UNP loss when ranil was PM?

Ran Sunday, 12 December 2010 10:16 AM

For me, it was 19th May, 2009.
