    Please none of the SLPP monkeys nor SLFP monkeys. This country has had enough damage by these two crooked parties. UNP, again anybody but not Ranil... he needs to be sent home for good or even kicked out of the country if necessary.

    It is not so easy to send RW. He will hang on to the President position by any means.
