Lest we forget, the No-Confidence Motion against Keheliya was defeated by 113 votes to 73, with 38 MPs absent.
Every MP who voted to defeat the motion today must seriously reflect on their own morality for lacking the courage to take a principled stand and call a spade a spade
Not to be facetious. Policy matters. Silence on the 13th A matters. Dismissal of war crimes matters. Distrust of Southern politics matters.
But communication (in both NATIONAL languages) is a fairly basic requirement.
Why are folks surprised by the North or East? The staggering disparity is a reminder to our politicians that minority voices matter. Without genuine reconciliation, trust in the political process will remain elusive. People are still hurting!

Here are the 5 undeniable "truths" I learned from watching the election results:
1. Watawala tea isn’t just tea—it’s apparently the elixir of life.
2. If your stomach even thinks about hurting, just chug some Eno. Problem solved.
3. Derana is the absolute king of TV ratings, because nothing says "scientific poll" like Kantar’s stamp of approval... repeated every 5 minutes.
4. SLT Fibre isn’t just an internet provider, it’s literally keeping the country from falling apart.
5. Need to buy tires online? No problem, DSI got you covered. Because who doesn't impulse-buy tires online?
These ads didn’t just air, they embedded themselves into my brain.
AKD was supposed to be different on the economy: he just said he would stick to Ranil’s IMF programme
AKD said he would go after crooks: he just said he felt sorry for GR
What does he actually stand for?
JVP voters and Gotabaya voters are more alike than they realize—both driven by extreme, simplistic thinking. Gotabaya voters believed in a "strongman" solution, while JVP voters cling to a fantasy of revolution. Neither group focuses on practical, real-world solutions. The JVP thrives on anger and promises of upheaval but has no concrete plan for rebuilding. They’ve historically brought violence and instability, not progress.
Voting for the JVP is voting for chaos. They offer rebellion, but no vision for the future. Just like Gotabaya’s followers, JVP supporters are stuck in a cycle of destruction, not development.
@Japdot Dhanya this sounds like a YOU problem🥲 Most of us aren’t “inconvenienced” with the language a person can speak nor do we support your racist/classist remarks.
It takes nothing to be kind to people. You really should try it sometime.
Today is my 40th birthday. Here are all the things that I know at 40 which I wish I knew at 20.
Starting with…
1. Your relationship with others is a direct reflection of your relationship with yourself. If you treat yourself poorly, then you will unconsciously seek out and tolerate others who treat you poorly. If you treat yourself with dignity and respect, then you will only tolerate others who treat you with dignity and respect.
Get right with yourself. Get right with the world.
The beautiful thing about Chelsea isn't all the trophies I've seen them win but the friendships made with fellow supporters. I love it when the Blues win and it's horrible to lose like today, but there's always the next game and the next craic to be had.
Keep it real✌️

People are understandably upset about the tax hikes. Many of them believe that the elected officials responsible for the economic crisis should be the ones suffering instead of them. However who voted those elected officials into power?
