They are poised to do a pole vault!

Certain Diyawanna members who hedged signing the No-Confidence motion against the bellicose John are poised to do a pole vault, they say.

Among these prospective pole-vaulters are a foursome who were known to have been once highly critical of the new administration.

One of the foursome, a mouthpiece of the former royal regime was often caricatured as the laundryman of the deposed Big Boss.  Two others happen to be a young politico appointed to oversee the affairs of a Ministry, as a sop to his ego and a former Green one-turned Blue during the Green winter hailing from the Puttalam district. The other Diyawanna member, a former Green buck hailing from the capital of the South used to vigorously defend the Big Boss and his regime at TV political debates.

Intrigued by the seemingly unfathomable political turnaround by these one-time diehard loyalists of the deposed Big Boss, some inquisitive ones made discreet inquiries and they uncovered  the reason for their new twist: they have struck a deal to turn Green.

So after all, how can they express no-confidence in a Green leader?
