Political and Parliamentary Developments
Recent political events include a no-confidence motion against an Energy Minister and discussions about criminal justice mechanisms. Parliamentary proceedings and political dynamics are being closely examined.
Looks like Sri Lankan parliamentary drama is more predictable than a soap opera rerun - where else can a no-confidence motion get crushed faster than a gecko under a bureaucrat's shoe? One-oh-four vote difference? That's not just a defeat, that's a political knockout served with parliamentary panache.
