Sri Lanka to my understanding shall remain an utter mess for the rest of its existence. I only regret the young, but they make worse decisions unlike in the developed countries.
I will urge him to pack his bags and bugger-off without causing any more damage.
Ranil Wickremasinghe is the last living patriot in this country.
If he departs form the political scene, Sri Lanka would become No 1 Paraya State in the World.
Not that they love RW with a UNP Government. These backbenches need their job & power so that they can loot more. Inn 2015 MY3 won. Then RW got a Pina-chance to become the PM. The match maker Chandrika madam fled to UK even before the PC results. She lost Athanagalle. HE President already a lame Duck. He has SLFP presidency & SLFP HQ. But masses are with MR (Pohottuwa). The best thing for the Yaha Palanaya is to conduct a snap election. Give what masses want. JVP already indicated they want to be with UNP and MY3. JVP was rejected from ‘Village -Game’ folks and they are really in a limbo (Nannathara wela’).
