Had UNP convinced him successfully to join them, many UNPiers will definitely feel threatened... but on the other hand if he joins that could be the change UNP needs?

I don't think he will choose that sinking ship,
he may be the Common Candidate of Opposition
as Mangala Samaraweera hinted on May day Rally.

    SLA has other officers who are ranked above Shavendra Silva(Brigadier)

    so he's not in line to be the next Army Commander
    I didnt mean that he's the second in command but that he's also in line. Those other senior officers, how many will be retiring soon ?

    Why do you say so?
    :frown:
    If he contests, Ranil and those rallying around him will have serious problem as Ranil will not the candidate. Others who opposes Ranil will rally around Shavindra and effective will split the UNP in to 2 camps.

    Aayethe ewilla wage Athula ayya!
    One thing bro if you want to direpute a guy who did his best to safe-guard the country, its one thing but if you are assuming things on your imaginations its either u are trying to take some political advantage on him or frankly working for a, I suppose a PLAN! is that what you are trying to do or are you really playing bullshit?
    Mind you bro Sirasa do things with their own plans! they may either want to make popular people UNpopular if they are opposing Sirasa agendas or simply trying to be covered, taking advantage of Brg Shavendra to show normal people " Oh, we sirasa readily felicitate war heroes!- Bottuwa peralunaama peralunu pita hondai kiyanawa"

    You didn't consider
    the possibility of him as a Common Candidate.

    I just asked so..
    I don't think so.
    :)

    Hmmm..
    Intresting. in this thread you have asked others view about this but what do you think?
    Will he or will he not go in to politics?
    If yes will he join The UNP?
    and most importantly will it be a good thing(for...)?

    Not while Ranil is the leader of the UNP. He's too greedy to let it go.
