Problems will arise when decreasing electoral seat from 160 to 145. Minority parties will never allow seats from their districts to be scrapped. In the end main parties will have to agree to scrap seats only from other districts.

What is the benefit that the ordinary people will receive, irrespective of the race, etc., by increasing the number of MPs ? It is only a burden for them. Nothing else.

Anybody who is more concerned about the numbers should also consider the "CLEANLINESS OF THE PARLIAMENTARIANS". All the best Sri Lanka!!!

why do they want to increase the number of members if they really want to serve the country as a whole?Only the racists wants to help only their own community ,this is the curse we the Sri Lankan have .High time to crush this unacceptable ethnically divided politics

take a bet within one year after elected under new system everyone will feel about the major short coming. what we had was the best if not preferential votes or so called manapa pore.new system will make mockery of parliament system as it will give major boost to one particular party to gain over majority and play a hell. we had seen that in 1970
