Hope you are referring to MR's gang. There is too much of a confusion as to who is the "go0vernment". In any case, if it MR's team, hope they will walk off from the earth.

To be charitable - at least this time they have walked out - without resorting to their usual dances and "holi" party.

Irrespective of party , whats wrong about this whole issue is that Sri Lanka is supposed to be a democratic country with a parliamentary system. if there is a government selected by people at a general election to run for 4-5 years so be it, President cant change that just for his own wish. If we are going to work outside the constitution then the president can even appoint 225 of his own ministers whom he likes ! , so why should the people then be asked? so we are allowing this dangerous path by a president who knows nothing for sure

Mahinda Rajapaksa has been marked as the shameless parliamentarian in history and he is a disgrace for the presidency.

MR team have given a walk over. Next step should be that MR should give up.

All this muck up due one man's greed for next Preidential election to get support from his one time arch enemy. To what depths can a man stoop for a position.

Todays vote clearly showed who got the majority in Parliament. Sharia Law to DEMOCRACY to cut throat.

Eager to know if all the chairs are still there remaining. Not at all a problem for me if they walk out but without causing any further damage.

Dear Editor, Government MPs??? I think it's best to report it in the most accurate way without demonstrating partisanship and confusing your readers as well. A group of SLPP MPs walked out. Whether they are govt is still to be determined - judging by their behaviour definitely not worthy of being in govt.
