“Post-Election BRIBES” to Party Jumpers are ALREADY being offered by the UNPatriotic Party DESPERATE to gain POWER somehow, WELL AWARE that it will not be able to win the required number of seats on its own!
The CROSSING OVER of MPs from the Party that Nominated them to Another Party should be PROHIBITED by a Constitutional Amendment!
Such CROSSOVERS, usually for PERSONAL GAIN, BETRAYS the TRUST placed in them as Members of a certain Party by the voting Public, and leads to the creation of TOTALLY UNTRUSTWORTHY Political Leaders!
BAN IT COMPLETELY and BAN IT SOON!

Sri Lanka PM says SLFP MPs to hold talks over ministerial posts with President after polls
Aug 12,(LBO) The United National Party led government may have to offer ministerial portfolios to SLFP Parliamentarians who support them to form a new government, Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe said. In an exclusive interview with a local TV station Wickramasinghe revealed the current situation. “Even now, some candidates keep telling that they will take ministerial positions after talking to us through the President. It seems like a rift between SLFP and UPFA.”
Wickramasinghe also noted that they are forming a government based on conventionalism even if they are confident of getting the majority.
“This is a decision we took before January 08. We’ll form a government with ‘Lichchavi’ principles.”
According to Mahaparinibbana Sutta of Lord Buddha, Lichchavis followed seven guidelines known as Sapta Aparihaniya Dharma to rule their kingdom about 2,700 years ago.
The main feature of this was the regular meeting of the rulers for consultation and arriving at a consensus.
“We hope to start the committee system in the next Parliament. The whole Parliament will turn into a government to make collective decisions as per Lichchavis,” Wickramasinghe said.

As Mahinda says, 1.5 million people lost employment and the income they earned as a result of the Yamapalanaya Govt stopping ALL National Infrastructure Development initiated by the previous GoSL out of JEALOUSY & RANK DEMOGOGERY!
When the UPFA govt comes to power on August 17, 2015 those 1.5 million jobs will be regained by those who lost them because the infrastructure development jobs now stopped will be REVIVED immediately!
Those who said it does not matter which Govt is in power, has NOW LEARNED the CONSEQUENCES of their STUPIDITY!
Let these people WHO HAVE WOKEN up DO THEIR DUTY to RESTORE the Patriotic UPFA Government of Sri Lanka.
VISION, PATRIOTISM & ABILITY are the PILLARS of PROGRESS of the MR/UPFA program!

‘Neutral’ Wigneswaran’s Statement Shows Tilt Towards TNPF
Aug 12 (NIE) COLOMBO- Northern Province Chief Minister C.V.Wigneswaran’s statement on Wednesday telling Sri Lankan Tamils who they should vote for in the August 17 parliamentary elections, seems to be an endorsement of the radical Tamil National Peoples’ Front (TNPF) rather than his own party, the moderate Tamil National Alliance (TNA).
Justifying his “neutrality” in the elections, Wigneswaran said that politicians who had got elected earlier had flouted their promises in regard to the Tamils’ rights such as the right to self-determination. They had done precious little to set right the wrongs done to the Tamils during and after Eelam War IV.
The elected leaders had been stressing the need to “get along” with the leaders of South Sri Lanka, thereby “selling out” to the latter. If they had any intention to make such compromises, they should have said so in their manifestoes, Wigneswaran argued!
That the accusing finger was pointed at the TNA is clear because most Sri Lankan Tamils elected to representative bodies are from that party. The TNPF had boycotted the Northern Provincial Council and Presidential elections. It is contesting the August parliamentary elections, though.
The TNA’s stand has been that cooperation of the South Lankan Sinhalese parties is necessary to secure Tamils’ rights. That was why it backed Maithripala Sirisena in the January 8 Presidential election. The TNPF, on the other hand, spurns cooperation with the Sinhalese parties and believes that support of the Tamil Diaspora and the West is enough.
The TNA believes that India’s support is necessary, but the TNPF differs. Significantly, Wigneswaran’s statement mentions the need to secure the West’s support, but ignores India.
Observers suspect that the pro-LTTE section of the Tamil Diaspora is propping up TNPF and Wigneswaran. The moderate Diaspora, represented by the Global Tamil Forum, is supporting TNA.
Criticising Wigneswaran’s stand, V.Thanabalasingham, editor of Thinakkural said: “Having won with TNA’s support, Wigneswaran has a moral obligation to support it now. He says he is neutral, but it is clear that he is backing a particular party. His stand has caused confusion in voters’ minds.”
Informed sources told Express that the TNA is contemplating action against Wigneswaran after the elections.

Great personality and a great leader we wish to have for many many years to come. Traitors to the land will get their answer on 17th August and they should find a place to hide before the people’s power get them. Every citizen who loves their land of birth should support Mahinda and his party not the Hitler’s UNP under the Gobbel Ranil and his clowns. Sinhala land must be protected at all cost. Give your vote to the “BETEL” and support true democracy.
