The Sri Lankan Government of Prime Minister Mr Ranil Wickremasinghe is facing an uphill task to continue in power.\u00a0\u00a0 Its loosely patched government of 40 odd seats of his own party Members of Parliament ( out of 225 seats in Parliament – meagre 20%) is being provided oxygen by the SLFP Members of Parliament. \u00a0 These SLFP members are now secretly moving away from RW, realizing that the country is overwhelmingly demanding the removal of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Constitutionally, there is an illegal Government in force in Sri Lanka today.<\/strong> The recent<\/strong> Presidential Election was held to elect a President and not to elect a new Prime Minister<\/strong>. If the new President prefer an alternative Prime Minister, the newly appointed candidate should face a vote of Confidence on the floor of the House.<\/strong> Mr RW has so far not faced a vote a confidence in Parliament. Will a future government nullify any long term contracts or agreements signed by Mr Ranil Wickremasinghe as Prime Minister? His draconian acts as a dictator and vindictive behaviour are the main causes for his downfall, otherwise RW is an intelligent personality.\u00a0\u00a0 He is attempting to run the minority government, in the same way he is running his political party, viz. UNITED NATIONAL PARTY.\u00a0\u00a0 The SLFP members of Parliament had been with the President Mahinda Rajapakse for many years, who was seen as a leader and team player with skills of being able to exploit the strengths of multi-party members for the benefit of the Nation. MR is not a vindictive man. MR is not a crook but is an intelligent man with a vision for the Nation.<\/p>\n

By contrast the Prime Minister Mr Ranil Wickremansighe has never been a team player. \u00a0 In every occasion where he had been given the opportunity to govern the Nation, his period in power was short lived. \u00a0 He first became the Prime Minister immediately after the assassination of Mr R Premadasa in 1993. (The killing of Mr Premadasa is still a mystery, though LTTE is largely blamed for the May Day assissination). He lost government to Mrs CBK at the next election in 1994. He then became the Prime Minster in 2001 with 109 seats for the United National Party under UNITED NATIONAL FRONT. Once again he demonstrated his lack of vision by signing a Norway sposored Ceasefire Agreement with the LTTE.\u00a0\u00a0 When he was away overseas, the President CBK sacked him as Prime Minister and dissolved the Parliament in April 2004.<\/p>\n

The most recently concluded meeting at Kurunegala had attracted 55 odd members of the Parliament. However, according to inner circle log book records the exact number of MPs favouring the return of President Mahinda Rajapakse as Executive Prime Minister are well in excess of the cut-off number required.<\/p>\n

President Maithreepala Sirisena did miss a golden opportunity to reconcile with President Mahinda Rajapakse during the recently concluded meeting. \u00a0 He had no alternative as he has almost become a “SCUM BAG” of Westerners. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
