Usual story of no fixed principles or party affiliations or discipline, of unscrupulous politicos who will jump from side to side for their personal gain..

They are trying to stay RELEVANT but it will be a very long wait. As far as the country goes, this is a non event.

Birds of a feather flocks together. SJB and UNP will be one party very soon, if not no future.

Nonsense. Mount Lavinia courts issued arrest warrants on ministers Wasantha Samarasingha, Mahinda Jayasingha and Ranjanlal (Kaduwela Mayor who made death threats) for making money by selling another person's property. But, still at large. The energy minister had been a suspended public officer under agriculture minister AKD and Chandrika, before 2005 over wasting public money. The government wanted to defend the rapist of that Kotahena child that led to her scucide after 5 months and action taken after protests of people and still at large . Samantha Vidyarathne, that person who yelled of a hole of Uma Oya, influences to re-employ a sacked person after dropping a case against that sacked employer over corruption. Under instruction of BR, releasing 323 containers from customs without checking at all and no investigations done. Effective and effective officials are transferred like in relation to Pahala-Plallekalle forest reserve under the influence of the NPP/JVP like Namal Karunarthn
