I dont see any difference between Ranil and Karu in terms of party leadership. It is better to take some one who has fresh blood in the party. It could be Sajith or Dayasiri Jayasekara or anyone else. However, these changes wont bring the party to the top unless they make a good propagenda among the people in Sri Lanka.
Good luck

Here we go again.
Young blood is boiling in the UNP.
It does not matter who leads the party.
Since the deaprture of JRJ and RP, the party has not been able to put forward any policy or vision that will help the suffering masses in the country.
I will vote UNP if Rosy Senanayake is made leader. We will then have a parallel to Sarah Palin in the US.
Jokers of the World unite!
TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE UNP LONDON BRANCH

Hon S Premadasa will preside at the event. We are also expecting Hon K Jayasooriya and Hon Rosy Senanayake to attend.
