Exactly SL need a new revolution to overthrow you!
Of course, the country needs a new revolution.
Unfortunately, all current Political Parties including UNP, SLFP, SLPP, UPFA, DNF, TNA have failed miserably to provide leadership for the new revolution.
The only hope for the new revolution is the JVP; unfortunately, the voters do not have mass regard for them.
Mr Amarakoon and Mr Ravindra Maldeniya why don’t you start a new party and I will support you all the way. We can’t go on like this.
Thank you for suggesting a new Political Party under the joint leadership of Amarakoon-Maldeniya.
When I look at the performance of all the new political parties that have been formed since 1948, the Amarakoon-Maldeniya Political Party will not and cannot be any different.
Ranjith, politics is the art of lying to citizens and misleading citizens while accumulating personal wealth and power.
We, the voters are taken for a ride by politicians to get elected and thereafter, we, the voters are cheated.
By the way, all politicians are good friends amongst themselves and they take lots of effort to look after themselves whether they are in power or not while cheating the voters.
Mr Ravindra Maldeniya. The answer ti this on going problem is to form a new party. As you said the current politicians are playing on the ignorance of ” cram the book and pass the exam” stupid Sri Lankens who want to accumulate wealth for them self and for there children. What is the point of handing a corrupted, lawless country in debts to the world to your children, So the answer is to invite expatriates to form a government with out getting paid. They must be willing to travel by public transport and use public supervises so they no where the sort falls are, Honesty is the best policy and if we don’t act now there will be mega problems.
the UNP uder our Prime Minister and speaker Karu is very good only complaint is sagith
