It must have been a hilarious meeting.
Hope Mahinda reminded the King of the Hoppers they had at Temple Trees, hours before the King majestically stabbed Mahinda in the back.
The race for the Big Chair is between RW and GR.
With the tacit support of MR and Pohottu, RW will be in the King’s Chair.
In the next Parliamentary elections, RW’s NDF will be expanded to include Pohottu and GR nominated as PM under a National Govt with 48 ministers!
The National Govt will have 2/3rd majority in Parliament and will produce a new constitution.
This is RW’s big plan for the nation.
