Power hungry stooges in the Ex. Co of the SLFP have decided to follow the path of no return and plunge themselves into their doom. With a definite and clear majority in their pocket they have decided to appoint a deserter who openly denied any cross over till the very last minute. Ex Co must remember that if Mr. Sirisena has an iota of decency left in him he must support the UNP Coalition including the TNA at all the future elections..Under the circumstances even if Mr.Sirisena plays his double game it will be quite clear the SLFP leadership will be a stick in the mud.
