Whatever the promises made to the voters before the last presidential elections must be fulfilled before going for the general election.

Something seriously wrong to increase seats up to 255. No good will happen to country. This is not what we voted for. via DM Android App

This monk is a great man who always thinks about people and sri lanka.s future. With his efforts he did a big change even to put down the previous regime from dangerous situation. SO ALL SHOULD COOPERATE WITH HIM for 20th amendment

Not only 20th amedment should be passed, but also coming election should be contested under this. If it is not passed under minor rivalries, some hardened democrats would die as there would not be any opportunity in future for a change.

The present number of MPs is ideal as the Public cannot bear the cost of 225, also. Study the JVP campaigns, which is very fair by all their candidates. No battle for preferences.

NEED REFERENDUM FOR THESE CHANGES. IF CITIZENS NEED MORE MPs TO SERVE. OTHERWISE YOU ALL INCREASE ONLY BY BONUS LIST. IF NEED 255 HEROES FOR PARLIAMENT FIRST DIVIDE EVEN 250 ELECTORATE. via DM Android App

Minority parties will never allow the electoral system to be changed. Imaging the situation if the executive presidency was abolished while electoral reforms were not done?

It is either Electoral Reforms or No Confidence Motions. President wants Electoral Reforms, his party SLFP wants both and UNP who brought in the new President are not interested in both.The People are watching the Drama and slowly but surely losing confidence in all the Political players.In the meanwhile the Country is drifting without direction.

why does a small country like ours need even 225 MPs with another 300 or so provincial councilor please abolish the provincial councils in the south and have only 2 Provincial councils in the North and in the east that also with 10 members in each and do not increase the number of MPs

Now the utmost priority is dissolution of parliament. No agreement or consensus cannot be reached at this moment. Most people will not agree to increase MPs to 255 or more. Because we have more than enough Members for PS and PC.

Hey, poor voters, never trust politicians ! They all are the same, except the colours are different !! Sri Lanka needs statesman type genuine leaders. Frankly speaking none of our leaders have reached that goal due to power hungry, hatred based attitudes. But hope such leaders will emerge ( from any party) to save and unite a Lanka for all.
