All the lights have gone out in Sri Lanka. It is an island wide power failure. In truth, it is more than a mere electricity failure. It is the dashing of the hopes of the People in the Government. One by one all the light bulbs have burst leaving the People gnashing their teeth and rending their hair in darkness. They curse the folly of trusting and voting in 2019/2020, with renewed hope in a Government that was routed at the polls in 2015 inter alia for corruption, nepotism, and inefficiency.
The alternative Govt lead by a M***dasa, supported by FM Fonny, Dr Harsha and Eran Wick, will be a disaster max Govt. I simply cannot imagine the telephone men in power.
The only way out is to suspend the Constitution, freeze the Parliament and declare martial law.
Agree with you Gangalan,
The Indian PM snubbed our whizz, FM, who returned empty handed.
The EU Parliament is poised to consider the expert report which will lead to suspension of the GSP+ in the next few weeks.
As you say, the Telephone People are significantly more clueless than the current mob in dealing with the crisis.
The only way forward is to suspend the Constitution, sack Parliament and declare martial law for 8 years till the current and next terms of the Exec-P ends.
