Get rid of P.Ranil if UNP is to do well..This leader is the biggest mistake UNP ever made and will continue to make unless he steps down or is kicked out.

For sure, at the convention they will conclude , UNP stays the same but the meaning changes to UTTER NO POLICIES (UNP).

Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. How stupid can some people be?

We know that the UNP is prudent enough to call the shots at the appropriate time despite all the vituperations.

If there is no leadership change there is absolutely no chance to come to power

Wonder what kind of scheme Ranil will come up with this time to postpone his fate?

First bring the democracy inside your party.

Who will be the Leader? RAnil, Karu or Sajith! This is the burning issue within and outside the Party

Hope Hon.Ranil Wickramasingha will be resign before the convention...

nimal gune Monday, 15 November 2010 08:04 PM
as long as Ranil remains the UNP all this is just a waste of time. The Key to rebuilding the UNP is a new leader.

UNP must make the party strong in order to win in 6 years, It is very likely even ruling party supporters will vote for a strong opposition.

Only Sajith can bring the UNP back to power...!!!!

Ranil is a Leader without blemish a master in the game. He's not a bull in the china shop. Sir you shall continue to be our Leader and we will see victory soon. Slow and Steady wins the game.

malkanthi Tuesday, 16 November 2010 07:15 AM
You are absolutely right, but ranil is not a practical person, cannot even address the common masses!

JAYA WEWA !!!
at least make some effort to bring back the 30+ UNPERS who are in the government . We need a solid opposition to see that democracy will live long !!!

Imran Hameed Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:09 AM
UNP, please wake up and be real. Learn from what has happened so far. You've been talking so long about reforms and kept making silly changes. THROW RANIL OUT. THAT IS THE ONLY REFORM NEEDED.

They all should jump in the lake if Ranil continues to be the leader.

papa Wednesday, 17 November 2010 07:48 AM
Indeed. Though we can't manage his own party, he will be able to make this country a first-world one, equal to Europe, in 2 or 3 years, if he comes to power... Ranil Forever!!!

You have to wait for another 60 years under the present leadership,

manmohan Monday, 15 November 2010 09:00 AM
if Ranil comes to power expect SriLanka to be the most developed and discipline nation ! He has the ultimate political ability to do that. no one else in Asian politics !

I am a die-hard UNPer. But I do not think UNP could come into power for at least another 2 decade. President Mahinda's each step ahead takes onestep back with UNP. Basically Mahinda is going to be another Premadasa with a BLUE colour.

MR might declare curfew on 12th December and bail out RW. After all where in the world can you get such a docile opposition leader.

Let this convention bring in new leadership in the party, which will definitely revolutionize the party back in the driving seat

I am 100% confidence that Ranil will make a Jilmart to avert any attempt to challenge his leadership.

Still true good to be true... If the Opoosition is struggling to establish democratic rights of the party to such an extent what can we expect if they come to power ?

will this be the turning point in the SLFP dominance ?
