    Doesn't matter whether NCM is defeated or not. We, as the public don't have any confidence over a bunch of 225 old baboons!

    Come election time, we will have our NCM against the corrupt, treasonous UNP/UNF.

    From the very start UNP, TNA cousins are together and every action of their s is detrimental to the interests of the Sinhalese.

    Why JVP is trying so hard to justify the government by bringing a NCM which can't be won ?
