This is a very good lesson for monkeys who jump. Farewell Wee Jay Moo. But why an ageing actress? Was it to counter young Pabha?

Why the old communist guard, why Azwer, why Malini??? Should have put some young professionals like what Ranil did.

I see only two names suitable. Tissa Vithrana & Rajiv
wish people like Dayan J. Harra de Silva, and some guys under 55 years with proven record.

Kurna- not again

Too many who have crossed 60 years of age. How many will last the full term? Those who have missed the opportunity this time, need not despair. They will get other opportunities when vacancies will surely occur thru natural causes.

It isa shame to appoint a monk when the government should discourage priests in active poltics.

Gamini Fonseka did a service to the country as a politician and we knew what he stood for. But Malini? It is a wasted oppertunity to give a young talent to serve the country.

This shows the leaders are taking us for a ride.

As we all know UPFA has full of THUGS and UNEDUCATED guys, So they would have select full of Educated and Efficient Team under the List.. in Colombo People like Fowzi who worked a lot and 30 Yrs of polotical life went down the bottom of the manapa list where as people who spent a lot and No experience got into the Top, see How inteligent our voters are.

Defenders of MR and his politics have been duly rewarded. Not a bad lot. Yet I hope they will have the courage to vote to get rid of the preferential voting system, knowing it would dig their own grave.
