Dear Jhonston,Lakshman Senevirathane, I am very sorry to say this because I am strong UNP supporter. But majority More than 75% of the UNP suporters wants still Mr.Wickramasing as our leader.Now you people are talking thousand and one stories but take last 17 election and evaluate how many time you all have won your electorate so stop talking bullshit and support the leader win up coming election.I believe you people try to implement what government and 17 people left from the part wants to do.REMEMBER THIS IS NOT THE PART MEMBERS WANT. Eranga From Kotte

please tell who is the person can be came to leader ship of UNP . No any person suitable for leadership of UNP than Mr . Ranil Wickramasinhga .

Posted By: Dissanayake Daya

It will be a historical mistake if UNP replace ranil with rukman.Hu s rukman?he s the 1 hu was behind all the conspiracies against the leadership from the begining.He did make sure to get rid of all the seniro leaders so that eventually he can become the leader.Rukman didn't even win his electorate in the last election.He s doing politics only bcoz of his ancestors.nathnam he s a 'patholaya'. Letz consider the other option SB..the outspoken bastard that did sabotage CBK as well.We shud b dreaming f he s the next leader.What happend to SBs tactics of wining elections?what happend to NCP election which was under SB?Our only hope is sajith.But he s not experienced enough at the moment.We dont need to do a mistake by hurrying things up.SO Mr JHONNY and the gang should bldy well understand that this not the time to replace ranil.If they wanna change,they shud prove thr replacment is better than ranil.I feel so sorry abt hon RW.After doing all the hard work now he has to face this pathetic situation.Hon RW this political battle field in Sri lanka is not suitable for u.U are too gud for a country like this.Whateva hapens we salute u for the immense work which u have carried out for the goodwill of our country and our party.

Dear 05 rebels, dont try to do contracts for 17 ba------s.they dont have both" rawlai kadai".They crossover to cover up their "dooshanaya".But they failed to stop court cases.Now the want to change UNP leadership to re enter and get power to them selves to stop cases against them.so called "sonia type" proposed by Rajitha S. on SundayLeader interview 2 weeks ago.

I am also agree with Duradakana's comment.he said 20% of UNP'ers will vote for Rukman.But I think it will be less than 10%.Y'day I spoke with 10 UNP'ers.(8 of them former Rajaliya supporters)all of them preffer Ranil as a leader.No body beleive Rukman.Their openion is, UNP should have wait until april 2009.after that gov. can't show "Yuddaya" for everything.

LEN if possible conduct an opinion poll amoung UNP supporters (not everybody- find a way to do it) and see the differnce beween the respect and approval people have for ranil and johnstons team. The two are not comparable and compared to Ranil all of them are non-entities.And the million doller question is who is going to replace Ranil? Rukman??? Ha Ha ! He will not get 20% of what ranil got, and SB? what nonsense? then Jonnny? Madness!! The only person who who can take that place is Sajith but that will be many years later. Protect Ranil and his opportunity to rule this country in the future if you ever want to have even the faintest chance of prosparity for Sri Lanka! for the same get people like jonny to leave politics or at least join MR. LEN, can you post these comments and get the Pancha maha balawegaya to read what people write to LEN

LEN I can see the turn you took during the three months very clearly. I am sure all intelligent people who read your site witnessed. You took away from UNP. You took away your stand against the army chief. You are now publishing articles against UNP and LTTE. Not only that now you are trying to humiliate the UNP. Why is the sudden change? Is it you really believe Mahinda regime or you are marking time till Ranil lift his head (If he got one) or simply you are doing what I call “ Wela yana athata messa gahanawa. I do not believe that you got the courage to publish this article. Janaka

Posted By: janaka

If any of the UNP MPs read this--please let your coleagues know that How UNP SUPPORTERS are still confident of Ranil. I really suspect the agenda of the 5 rebel MPs. If you want please go get ministries--without damaging the party & leadership. If one watches ITN/Lakehouse can understand who wants Ranil out of politics..

W.A.S Fernando said-'.........If he comes to power no one get chance to make money thru politics ...' Just ask Wijedasa Rajapaksha who was the COPE chairman (now anti MR), how during Ranil's two years all his close ministers and supporters looted the country. You either do not know about SL politics or are trying to treat us all as idiots.

Why can not you find leaders in UNP ? What is the reason ? Eventhough Ranil was a bad leader who is going to run the UNP after Ranil? I don't agree that he is an honest and clean leader. He was a PM only for two years. Why he lost if he is so called clean and honest leader? JVP ens capable enough to convince people that Ranil not so, come on! UNP ens desparately need strong leaders like Gamini and Lalith, not clean or honest. Nobody gonna be clean and honest in UNP not even in all the other parties.

Posted By: Wasantha Dissanayake

I think if you guys don’t like ranil, pls go and join Mahinda, don’t destroy the party. We trust much ranil than you guys, especially johny, koti jayalath, and lakshman. Yhes I don’t even know that there is a MP called Indika. I respect Karu and 17 UNP MPs who crossed over to the Government, because they didn’t damage UNP like you five. They at least had some points than your stupid reasons. We don’t want Ranil to go but we want you to go with S.B but ask Koti Jaya to give up politics.

Dear Jony,Luxman & others,You still unable to understand what is the real problem.Without understand real problem unp cannot come to the power. You have clever,inteligent & capable leader run this country in proper way.He is honest & uncorrupted leader.You cannot compare his wisdom & capebility with any leader in the any political party in the country at present. Then why unp is loosing.Some of unp mp also supporting the government propagenda saying Ranil is not firm leader.But other political leaders are even not taking firm decision against corruption thugary etc.Also government using their media very badly to tell about Ranil.Government targeting onle Ranil not any one else.Because they know he is the only one orgnize the party & country.If he comes to power no one get chance to make money thru politics ,he shall develop this country & will keep law & order. Also during the election government media creating news & poaring to people head with out any objection of opposition.They is no authoroty to control this unproper propagenda. Dear unp mp plese try to inforce 17th amendment instead of changing leadership.You couldnot find any one better than Ranil in your party or other political party.People will soon understand the reality.

Still there is no leader if RANIL goes out most people forget about the fact that when inexperience leader comes to power after MR ( assuming Ranil goes out and new one appointed) UNP will face the same fate now MR facing then only UNP can robbed and be corrupt as now MR does what UNP needs to do is put ranil beside and bring some one who can talk to people and grab their heart and mind and then bring Rnil back in business unless this country has no future since 99% of them from Both parties are corrupt and hungry for power

This is another political project which is run by Mr Basil Rajapakshe, who is Master in Destroying political parties, with the support of Mr S.B. Dissanayake, (Mr Sajith Premadasa blessings as well). We all agree that there are some problems with Mr Wickramasinghe’s leadership, but those five UNP MPs have not been able to convince the public that; • they are capable to run the party if Mr Wickramasinghe resigns • who is next leader and how he would be better than Mr Wickramasinghe • the plans they are going to implement to win upcoming elections • they have enough support from the UNP parliamentary group, UNP intellectuals, business community and party supporters • they worked hard to bring UNP to the power in last elections • Mr Wickramasinghe’s incapability in the leadership On the other hand, those five MPs are not in the top 20 popular MPs in the party. Some MPs like Dr Jayalath Jayawardne, Mr Johnston Fernando, Mr Lakshman Senevirathne, are likely the least popular MPs in the party. They have damaged UNP image seriously, especially Mr Jayalath as known a LTTE supporter and Mr Johnston with some allegations. Mr Lakshman’s baseless parliamentary speeches and criticisms against the security forces have weakened UNP popularity. Not many people even know who MP Indika Bandaranayake is? Mrs Thalatha Athukorala has some popularity among supporters thanks to her brother, late Mr Gamini Athukorala. Finally if someone wants to support this group to change Mr Wickramasinghe means; • Helping President Mr Rajapakshe to distroy UNP • Internal conflicts and races for leadership • Giving an easy wining to PA at least 140 seat mass majority in the next upcoming parliamentary election. (this will be held just after ousting Mr Wickramasinghe when UNP mentally and financially bankrupt) • Offering the UNP decision making power to a corrupted, power greedy, indecent group. • UNP will never be able to win any election in next twenty years and the Rajapakshes regime would be enjoying for decades. • Weak opposition leads to corruptions, mismanages, and eventually dictatorship. 1976ng@gmail.com

UNP should not change its constitution according to the agenda of Basil Rajapakse.Bsil has heavily paid to these MPS to make confustion within the UNP.We all know SB is a SLFP strong man.We should not allow him to get any post within the UNP as he is doing a Basil's contract with Johnny & Laxman.They have been paid more than 200million rupees by Rajapakse company.We need a clean strong leadership withing UNP .Ranil is the only one we have apart from Janaka perera.
