I think, this is the first time an MP has crossed over for a reason, rather than money or power.....for voters' seek
Priyanthi Hmm...Modapakse has to allocate another million dollars to get back the resigned SLMC.
I don't think that there is a need for that, since SLMC will vote against, JVP will vote for the naturally brainless Motta Rala regime

| If the defeat of the Rajapaksa Govt is certain the CWC will also follow SLMC and many more monkeys and donkeys will too jump to the opposition to get rewarded in the new Govt headed by Ranil Wickramasingh. |

One idiotic monk representing JHU has said that Muslims should consider Saudi Arabia as their motherland. what an idiotic statement. what a disgrace to lord Buddha's teachings. I hope all Muslim MP and Ministers, if they are real Muslims, should join the opposition and pave way for the political destruction of these extremists.

Anuradha,
monk representing JHU has said that Muslims should consider Saudi Arabia as their motherland
Are you sure he said such a thing? In any case that is not a problem, Buddhists and Hindus can go to India and Christians can go to Bethlehem.
I will decide to live in Sri Lanka and if anyone decides to stay with me to start an entirely new generation, she is welcome :))
Wije,
I hope it is good riddance but MR has the magnet :)) |

Attacking Karu is new.....
This is not important. If JVP thinks that budget is going to be defeated, they will abstain from voting. They don't want and cannot win if there is an election. I'm not sure who is going to benefit from an election except LTTE of course. What we ended up is with few more ministers from UNP. Pathetic. |
