Who is this mad person? Can Ranil talk 05 sentences continuously in Sinhala? So how can he win the elections?

-14+33 # Gayan Samarasekara 2012-09-07 05:07

It's not the talks that matter end of the day. You must have intelligence to drive the country to success, once appointed. It's only Hon Ranil W can fulfill the requirement.

Not Our Country for sure

True, that's why he needs to lead from the back and not from the front. He is too associated with failure, that people think of him as unsuitable. Make sajith the face of unp.

-63+58 # sam 2012-09-06 16:14

yes do as this guy said!! We can see a another party and will vote for that and finally Sajith will be the president!!

-2+13 # ChamaraJ 2012-09-07 07:34

Sam's vote for the Tomb Raider....

-7+14 # saman 2012-09-07 10:08

Sajith has President, in your dreams man. Why do you want to dig your own grave and ruin your children's future.

-41+71 # Sri Lankan 2012-09-06 18:06

True...... unfortunately, Ranil wont get a chance in Sri Lanka, he too good for Sri Lanka. He is good for US etc... In Sri Lanka politician should be uneducated & unskilled.

-26+61 # Pubz 2012-09-06 18:35

I haven't seen a losing presidential candidate in US competing in elections for 18 YEARS,
In US if they lose once,they go home

-26+64 # Lobo 2012-09-06 18:49

If Ranil had any decency he would have resigned his position long ago. Would be the best for the UNP if he did move to the US.

-19+45 # Lobo 2012-09-06 18:50

Radical changes to make the party better or keep him in power longer and uncontested.

-8+15 # dham 2012-09-07 02:49

Please step down that's the only radical change UNP followers expect, you have not won single election with your own strength and hope not even in future. Access your own weekneses and give some one capable to do.

-7+13 # MagodisThuma 2012-09-07 07:33

Daddy... What's UNP ?

-5+3 # IHM 2012-09-07 11:34

UNP is UNfortunatePart y of Sri Lanka

-6+11 # Fayad 2012-09-07 09:42

No need of Radical change only a leadership change will do.

-59+105 # Sando 2012-09-06 12:31

The only change can bring victory to the UNP is sending Ranil out

-58+79 # PATRICK 2012-09-06 12:43

The ONLY radical change that is required is for Ranil to to be expelled

-37+41 # Confucious 2012-09-06 12:51

So radical Party Leader will now extend to the rebirth of the current leader!

-54+80 # RIP 2012-09-06 12:58

All change except me !!!!
The only change UNP need is to kick him out.

-75+58 # dasdas 2012-09-06 13:06

you are the true leader of Sri Lanka

-55+77 # willows 2012-09-06 13:09

MOST REQUIRED CHANGE IS THE "LEADERSHIP CHANGE"

-51+68 # Hoodwinked 2012-09-06 13:11

Change of leadership would be best radical change if the party is to survive

-44+60 # Up 2012-09-06 13:21

You meant radical changes in the Leadership ?

-46+71 # Shane 2012-09-06 13:32

Wow...are you going to resign from the leadership?

-45+69 # Ranil 2012-09-06 13:33

The biggest radical change u can do is to move out

-45+61 # dj 2012-09-06 13:41

only change we need is to change this lazy leader.

-41+54 # Subbiah 2012-09-06 13:44

Ranli should change himself before introducing changes in his party.

-36+40 # Sajith 2012-09-06 14:23

Radical or whatever changes should be honest and to bring the party back to the winning track and not to protect the positions. Many true UNPers have lost their faith on the leadership and the party.

-36+39 # keith 2012-09-06 14:24

Ranil be radicaaaal...help mahinda to stay in power pleaase..ur the dud who can do it

-32+14 # M. Silva 2012-09-06 14:26

UNP-66,Maharaja-66, two babies born together !

-38+44 # Kondeybendapucheena 2012-09-06 15:43

He will help MR to stay in Power for ever,UNP won't change a bit as long as RW is there.

-34+38 # sirisena 2012-09-06 15:48

How many "Radical changes" you have brought to the party since 1994, has those changes worked. Aiyyo Sirisena

-35+39 # sali 2012-09-06 16:26

You have to retire sir!! That the needed change!

-17+29 # Gamaraala 2012-09-06 16:34

He has bought time till the next convention..

-22+36 # silva 2012-09-06 16:39

-31+21 # Appuhamy 2012-09-06 16:46

Yes.. We will have another committee appointed at the next convention to study the reforms.

-17+30 # citizen junior 2012-09-06 18:15

There won't be A UNP to celebrate 67th anniversary- guys do not waste time and energy--

-22+38 # Farzan 2012-09-06 19:08

BEST CHANGE WOULD BE YOUR RETIREMENT AND THE APPOINTMENT OF A MOST APPROPRIATE PERSON.

-8+10 # daya 2012-09-06 23:42

My salute to UNP.

This is the only party that took genuine effort to develop the country and we can keep hopes.

All the left parties have ruined the country.

-6+2 # Lanka Atapattu 2012-09-07 01:16

Ridicules Change !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-2+7 # lal 2012-09-07 04:16

UNP needs a leader who is capable of feeling the pulse of the nation. MR, Premadasa, Banda felt the mood of the masses. Mixing with Colombo's wine drinking cocktail circuit as Ranil does is nowhere enough. Take the challenge to the streets, villages or seek exile in wilderness.

-3+3 # saman 2012-09-07 10:10

the people you have mentioned are the ones who have bought SL to this sorry plight. You voters are to be blamed. Pulse of the people my foot.

-1+7 # Shanil Samarakoon 2012-09-07 04:38

A good leader knows his/her own weaknesses and looks beyond self. This country is in dire need of intelligence and rational thinking - but you sir are not the solution and how is change radical if you cannot critically examine yourself. The future of the country is hinged on how young intellectuals are entrusted to right the wrongs of previous generations. To think beyond petty prejudice, xenophobia and self-interest.

-2+11 # Nadi 2012-09-07 07:22

A welcome change would be if the UNP could find an energetic and charismatic leader who who would pledge to end plunder and thuggery in Lankan politics.

-0+0 # lal 2012-09-07 18:22

A new leader, and a new party that puts the country and masses first is what the nation needs. End favouritism, good governance, enforce law and order. A basic demand but is there hope?

-4+10 # Amjath 2012-09-07 08:00

You want to be the leader until you will be only person in UNP.

-4+9 # Upul 2012-09-07 09:37

Wow!!!!

Mr RW, Radical of them all would be you steping down as the leader.

God bless you!!!

-2+2 # Berty 2012-09-07 11:27

Ranil is trying all his NEGATIVE tricks to continue as the
longest serving Leader of the Opposition and enter the records of GUIINESS books a such. We wish him success.

-0+2 # Justin Keppetiyagama 2012-09-07 13:25

Not only UNP all the partties in Sri Lanka need a radical change. Instead of the leaders deciding party policies, deciding the candidates to be contested even to a local authority, deciding who should be the mayor or chairman, party members of the respective areas should be given the authority to take these decisions.

-0+0 # realistic 2012-09-07 22:10

Ranil will be a better leader than MR since he possess better admin skills.It will be good for the economy and we will have a balanced foreign policy not too deviated to China.The question how he is going to come to power due to his poor PR skills.The best option is to keep the party leadership to himself and put forward some one like Sajith to contest in the election campaigns.He should play the role what Sonia Gandhi plays in India.Don't forget he is one of the few gentlemanly politicians we are left with in the midst of rogues and thugs.
