First thing is to get this Jadapalanaya out. The sexual deviants out. First things first. Next Parliamentary and Presidential Elections will determine the final outcome. It is better to have some of these traitors and shylocks sitting in the front benches rather than behind to stop back-stabbing. Their future will be determined by the people at the elections.
It is imperative that Mahinda R the consummate politician guide the end period of Jadapalanaya wisely.

Where is Dinesh, Wimal, etc.?
Looks like they keep ministries open for UNPers to join. Everyone knows that the current economic crisis is not going to go away Ranil or Mahinda. The important thing is to save the national economy.

Hope for the best.
Wish Mahinda will be able to control some of the Parasites who got money as well as votes in fact a block vote.

Friends,
This is only an interim Cabinet designed to attract MPs from other parties in anticipation of the VOTE COUNT in Parliament on Nov 16, that will determine whether Mahinda has MAJORITY SUPPORT in Parliament. That is the CRUCIAL ISSUE now.
Without a DOUBT, MR’s COMMITTED SUPPORTERS like Gothabhaya, Dinesh, Wimal, Udaya etc etc must have volunteered to remain outside the FRAY until the matter is settled. Their FOCUS is on the UPCOMING GENERAL ELECTION in the NEAR FUTURE. This way, they can also remain untainted by the FENCE JUMPERS.
I am somewhat AMAZED to see Wijedasa Rajapaksa & Vasantha Senanayake in this list of Ministers, given that only yesterday they were VOWING ETERNAL FIDELITY & LOYALTY to Ranil and the UNP!
I suppose that is their SURVIVAL STRATEGY & UNP is their FALLBACK position if they don’t get what they want from MR, in view of the fact that the UNP SWORDS are waving VIGOROUSLY now! Their POLICY is to SHOOT DESERTERS on the spot …… if they can be caught before they join the enemy!
Life of an AMBITIOUS WOULD-BE Minister is VERY PRECARIOUS, indeed!
Is it SAFE for ANYONE to TRUST such spineless unprincipled people? I would not. My policy is to EXECUTE ALL TRAITORS!
