    More brains are added to the govt, this is the policy of the UNP: develop the country by joining anyone

    Hey it is now more than 24hrs since the announcement. So I guess the government ministers have no idea of time, or how long a few hours means. Does a few mean 1000 hours.

    Now all comments sent to this news article are proved that they are UNPers. They can not bear the impact. Can;t help Callistus
    Owa Ohoma Thama. Great win to UPFA. Callistus you also better to cross over to UPFA.

    This is what happens when political dreams collide with reality.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Wednesday, 05 October 2011 05:04 PM

    These candidates are obviously put forward by the government party itself on UNP ticket so that they can make a big ha-ho and announce to the electorate these people realized the value of the UPFA and crossed over to their side all of a sudden remembering they are supposed to be "patriots" In simple words, this sort of activity is called "prostituting Democracy".

    kamali Wednesday, 05 October 2011 02:12 PM

    10 hours gone ................. where the guys...

    Handipora Wednesday, 05 October 2011 10:56 AM

    These are the dirtiest political tactics. It is a shame on Dulles who is supposed to be a champion of democratic values to talk loud about it. Anyway people expected this type of tactics. What has Milinda, the so called 'cleanman' has got to say. If the govt. was strong they should face the elecetions without scape goats to boost their stakes.

    Honest Man Wednesday, 05 October 2011 01:56 PM

    Unbelievable.It has never happened in Sri Lanka!

    Straight man. Wednesday, 05 October 2011 01:54 PM

    It;s not news.More than half of the current cabinet are ones who crossed the floor.

    koka Wednesday, 05 October 2011 01:27 PM

    pure dictatorship... UNP will bounceback soon !

    Fact Wednesday, 05 October 2011 01:22 PM

    LIMA Wednesday, 05 October 2011 01:18 PM

    why you all destroy the oldest party , why you buy candidates from opposition , why are UPFA afraid of loosing , bloody shame for the councillors who will be crossing over

    RAJANAYAKE Wednesday, 05 October 2011 12:49 PM

    NOT TOO LATE. . IT WAS NOT UNEXPECTED. EVEN IF UNP WINS THERE WILL BE CROSS OVERS. PEOPLE ARE CONTESTING NOT FOR THE PARTIES BUT FOR THEMSELVES. ONCE THEY WIN IT WILL BE AUCTION
