Opposition parties should support No-confidence Motion against Government
A group of Opposition legislators yesterday said Opposition parties should support the No-Confidence Motion (NCM) submitted by the JVP against the Government.
Addressing the Media in Colombo yesterday, Parliamentarians Dilan Perera and S.B. Dissanayake said they would support the NCM because it is against the Government even though the motive of JVP in moving the Motion was not clear.
“Everywhere we go, people are saying this Government should be sent home. It is clear that people have lost faith in this Government. Therefore, we should support the NCM as it serves the primary objective of defeating the Government,” Perera added.
Meanwhile, they also said that Ministers of the likes of Mangala Samaraweera should take public sentiment into serious consideration and take measures to move a resolution seeking a two-thirds majority to dissolve Parliament.
“Once Parliament is dissolved, people can elect a new Government of their choice,” the noted.
They also vouched that individuals such as Rishad Bathiudeen will not be a part in a future government headed by them.

Not only the Opposition but right thinking Politicians in Government should also support the NCM to ensure dissolution of Parliament and Parliamentary elections prior to the Presidential elections.
This will ensure the return of the Blue Brothers and their cohorts to the seats of power.
My dear Daisy, I do not think Blue brothers will come to power again even Muslim brothers crossed over and join him with the promise of getting powerful ministries again. Sinhala folks are fed up with them. It can be other way around. Dammika, Airbag man and Nagaya can divide Sinhala-Buddhist votes and UNP can come to power again (With the support of TNA/JVP/Muslim Congress).
