Totally agreed. General SF is not a corrupt politician. He is a man who honours his word. He is still new to the politics and not corrupted and a man of principle. I am sure he will win. Even if he looses, his entry into politics will ram some reality to the Rajapaksa family who thinks no end of themselves. .

The MR administration will not be able to to develop Sri Lanka economy with the corruptions ,wastages and nepotism prevails in the country. In fact, all the insurrections in 1971,1989 and 30 year old LTTE have come up, mainly due to the
economic hardships undergone by Sri Lanakan people. Even after making whole sea in the world ,gold or money and divert it to the present administration, they won,t be able to develop the country. They will rob whole the sea and disappear. So what should we do ,will protect the administration or else find a little better devil ?

Nice reading well analysed.In spite of the hula buloo our nation has the knack to go for theives,murderers,swindlers,drug pedlars,thugs and hooligans.From Helping Hambantota, Helping Beraliya to Helping themselves our nation is NOT bothered.Yet, if SF is elected we wish he dimisses this govt.and appoint RW as Prime Minister before the general election due in April 2010 and amend the constitution to abolish the EXC Presidency in the current Parliament .Lets hope SF gives this pledge to the voters.The complacent voter may see this reality during his campaign , which may carry him through.

It’s about time Sarath Fonseka should come clean about his corruption allegations about his son-in-law’s arms deals. Although I do not agree with many things about MR, Fonseka’s doesn’t have a chance in hell to beat an experience campaigner like Mahinda. Although the same old UNP base is excited about Fonseka’s entry into politics, one must not forget the majority of Sri Lankans are UPFA supporters and they couldn’t care less about Fonseka’s political ambitions.

i agree with you but without the ”political labell” we need to see the wider picture as ” Sri Lankans” rather than the SLFPer…or UNP’res..

if General elected..he’ll do the same as he did to the army… 0% corruption..better people for the job.. and promotion through merit… and finally – ” MOTHER LANKA” will win… not like the politically abused minded politicos…

D D Alvis,
Just making assertions of ‘no balance, no objectivity’ etc does not make what you say gospel. How in the world is this article is any way not objective?

If you say it is against the Rajapaksas, then look at all the information warning us against the dangers of Fonseka, and the weakness of Ranil Wickramasinghe?

If you say it is against Fonseka and the Opposition, then look at all the information criticising Rajapakse.

Dont make foolish comments.

Despite all the names detractors of Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe call him, his outstanding qualities of integrity and largely unwavering commitment to good governance stand out. If the good General and the country were to have RW as the PM this country cannot go wrong. Some of us have seen the depth to which people in power or with influenze have sunk; costs are inflated not by a mere couple of million dollars, but by hudreds of million, which generations unborn would have to repay, while some in the present generation commit suicide out of desperation and frustration. Nothing can be worse than the current nepotism and corrruption that pervades this administration.
