Ranil has laid the noose around their necks and they are unaware of the real outcome in time to come. But it will be too late for them to realize it.

SSK Tuesday, 12 February 2013 02:13 AM

We have not heard the names of most of these guys. The bus is too big to take these people. Three wheeler is more than enough.

Asoka Jayawardane Tuesday, 12 February 2013 02:26 AM

UNP(Yuktiya Nodath Parayo) no more after this. Very good sign for President Rajapakse

Asoka Jayawardane Tuesday, 12 February 2013 03:02 AM

In this New Alliance, 3 are LTTE terrorists supporters. Sri Lankans knows who they are.

007 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 03:01 AM

You are right, Ranil carries no baggage.

Thomas RangerThomas Tuesday, 12 February 2013 03:16 AM

Is this one of Ranil's radical ideas. We have had Superman and Batman and recently Spiderman to entertain us . Enter the super new hero, Ranil the Radical Man.

Ranjith Tuesday, 12 February 2013 06:17 AM

Sarath N De Silva is puppet of MR

Askiesia Ababha Wednesday, 13 February 2013 03:27 AM

Asoka, there are four, not three; they are Dr. JJ, Dr. Pacha Bahu, Mano and Sumanthiran.

Ranga Monday, 11 February 2013 05:20 PM

OMG, White van already there!!!

Nimal Monday, 11 February 2013 01:56 PM

Can any of these people win a single electorate? or has won their own electorate? NO

lankan puthra Monday, 11 February 2013 01:59 PM

This has become like the south Indian politics OMG :(

AP Monday, 11 February 2013 02:07 PM

Yehiya Monday, 11 February 2013 02:05 PM

Hemakumara, Azad sally not to bring to MOU. Opposition must consider Gen.Fonseka

Russel Monday, 11 February 2013 03:40 PM

sahdi Monday, 11 February 2013 03:45 PM

IF 100 parties joints... until the COMPUTER JILLMART fellows in this government they can not win any Elections......

Powerless Monday, 11 February 2013 03:46 PM

What a waste of time and money. But it was a good show.
Nothing good will come out of this.

Miracle Child Monday, 11 February 2013 03:51 PM

poor souls..

Ben Hurling Monday, 11 February 2013 03:59 PM

None of these people have the leadership skills required to change Sri Lanka.

That kind of credibility only comes with people like General Fonseka.

sinnan Monday, 11 February 2013 04:13 PM

A bunch of Jokers!

Sagara Monday, 11 February 2013 04:18 PM

Ranil, Dr. Wickramabahu, Mano Ganeshan, TNA, Dr. Jayalath Jayawardena ...wow, only Prabhakaran is missing. Jaya wewa.

HP Monday, 11 February 2013 04:57 PM

Does anyone thinks that these guys can run the country.

piyal Monday, 11 February 2013 04:58 PM

What a alliance - can this alliance make a difference
certainly not - it shows the pathetic state of the great
party of UNP - which is on its way to extinction or brink
of extinction

Russel Monday, 11 February 2013 05:07 PM

poor guys,

007 Monday, 11 February 2013 01:52 PM

See the mayor who is a boot liker and also a supporter of the regime. This will be like to wind we pass. Bad smell and will go away with time.

Raj Monday, 11 February 2013 05:35 PM

you think that only the family can run this country?

damien hayes Monday, 11 February 2013 05:45 PM

new alliance to stay in the opposition forever!!

Mahen Monday, 11 February 2013 06:01 PM

Unity is power.....always......while stay away from Kappan (Bribe Giver)) Mudalali to cross over.

Gabo Singho Monday, 11 February 2013 06:01 PM

This hodge-podge of individuals would not agree on any issues and in time will disintegrate like so many parties lin the past.

Rahula Monday, 11 February 2013 05:59 PM

Ampattan Monday, 11 February 2013 07:53 PM

I hope JVP and Sarath Fonseka join as well for the betterment of our country. Also please call Sarath De Silva and former CJ Dr Bandaranayake as well.

Morley de Silva Monday, 11 February 2013 08:10 PM

All politicos discarded by the people have got together. This is just another foolish move by Ranil for his downfall.

lankaputra Monday, 11 February 2013 08:11 PM

A better name would be 'Sadhakalika Vipakshaya'

sujeewa p Monday, 11 February 2013 08:33 PM
