What? Are there that much poor politicians in this country who cant even pay a small deposit money. Anyway, nothing to worry, because once they win a seat, they can double or treble that amount within a couple of days! It is one of the best investments one can think of nowadays with the interest rates falling down drastically.

Increase it as we do not want to browse through a newspaper to vote.We do not want 100 independent candidates who get less than 100 votes.
Thush Friday, 22 October 2010 12:31 PM
Is this man crazy? This has to be increased by 10 times.
patriot Friday, 22 October 2010 01:45 PM

No individual can contest on his own as an independent candidate..
He or she has to one of a group of independents!
AJ Friday, 22 October 2010 05:49 PM
That means who ever have money they can come to politics?
citizen1 Friday, 22 October 2010 07:00 PM
More like, if you have money but no education you are likely to get the votes! Oh, also include having a big mouth!

At last some one got the correct idea to increase the deposit,otherwise there will be much more contestants that wants to put their name just for publicity.There want be much more independents groups if this comes to effect.Why does the UNP request to reduce the deposit?It's not their matter as it is a registered and popular party,and those really interested this amount is nothing compared to the benefits to be graced after winning the game.

The reason to reduce the deposit fee may be for a " ohne gonekuta chande ellanna puluwan wenna "
