        Ranil & MR are both heroes who achieved unbelievable victory for the mother Sri Lanka. Ranil started it. He begged Peace from Prabhakan. He gave LTTE an international recognition. He allowed them to smuggle arms and kill our intelligence. He did not have any plan to destroy LTTE but to beg for peace. During his two years there was no economic development in the country other than in papers published by CB. During his two years Ranil irradiated two main myths from people’s mind.
        1. Even you give Elam to LTTE they will continue to kill all Sri Lankans
        2. Stopping war will not bring economic development or reduction in COL

        This was the platform for MR’s victory in 2005. Even after that Ranil continued to support this victory by constantly supplying MPs to MR for stable parliament and harbouring and leading all parties and international forces who wants to ruin my mother Sri Lanka. He led them from one loss to another not allowing them to think about alternatives. MR would never have achieved any victory without Ranil. Though Ranil is evil to this country, He is a necessary Evil. You all UNP idiots, if you cant help this country to develop as genuine Sri Lankans, You can keep Ranil Sambandan and Mano G. an. With them all of you will go to hell

        • isuru&saneera says:

          my dear friend,
          you call your self a patriot though there seem to be a little idiotic thinking by you tell me which patriot have condemn a part of the people because of a political party, & my friend neither Ranil or did not do the war yes it is true that he gave the orders but my dear friend without the lads of the forces they can not do the war so, without just hailing a liars like a big reached buffoon do some work to the country because the leader you hailed did not do the war. you idiot.

        • jan Li says:

          Now your Finseka is in custody. I did not see any supporters protesting at Lipton circle. UNP selfish idiots.

    • Kamal says:

      You are the one who cured dead UNP.!!!

      Although Ranil boasts about 2005, if he contested this time, the result would have been less than 2.5 million.!!!!

      We should bring able General to the UNP top seat instead of weak Ranil!!!!!!

      An Open letter to the Election Commissioner of Sri Lanka
      Thursday, February 4, 2010
      - A Gobitharan (London)

      Dear Mr Dissanayake

      (February 05, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) Recent events following the Presidential election have put you on the negative limelight, due to your confusing and contradicting comments made head down without looking at the audience.

      Lots of accusations are leveled against you. Some have been denied. The manner in which you are responding to the issues surrounding the conduct and the outcome of the election is further confusing the citizens like me. I plead with you to look at the face of the world at large and tell the truth to the following serious questions.

      Question 1: According the ‘The Times’ report filed by Jeremy Page ‘The President’s brother and adviser, went to see the Independent Elections Commissioner just before the latter announced the final results. The ministers denied that Basil Rajapaksa was meeting the commissioner, and said that he was asleep at the time, but Ms Wenger said that she saw him leave the Commissioner’s office immediately after the press conference’.

      My simple question to you is: Did Basil Rajapakse meet you just before the election results were announced? If so, what was discussed or ordered by him?

      Question 2: Sri Lanka Guardian in its exclusive news reported that you and your wife were held in captivity in the Presidents official residence Temple Trees and intimidated to obtain your consent to announce the government favoured comments on the outcome of the election and also to get your resignation announcement withdrawn.

      In the public interest and to earn the public confidence, would you kindly confirm by looking at the audience straight on their face without fear or subdued voice, whether this story is true or false.

      Question 3: The Lankanewsweb in its latest news headlined ‘A group of Army personnel had imprisoned Election Commissioner’s wife and daughter at Water’s Edge on the election day’.

      Once again in the public interest, will you be able to confirm this story is true or false.

      I understand that you are not permitted to travel overseas until the General Election is over. If this is not true, will you be able to travel to the UK or any other healthy democratic country and make a public statement on the issues surrounding the election. I am prepared to fund your first class flight ticket for your visit, as I consider your public statement in a respectable place without any fear of recrimination will be very useful for Sri Lanka’s future.

      Finally, with the very serious accusations levelled against you on the conduct of the Presidential election, how do you expect the citizens of Sri Lanka to consider you are independent to conduct the forthcoming General Election? Will you make a public statement to confirm what action you will be taking to overcome the difficulties you have encountered during the Presidential election to ensure the difficulties are not repeated with your backing?

      • Ansell says:

        To answer your questions in public?? Are you serious? And risk his life? Why don’t you just write to him in private and support him rather than challenging him unrealistically?

        • Samuel says:

          investigations are underway. EC will need to react soon. All the oppostion parties have got together to discuss it with him now… since time is counting there will be good or bad news related to all these soon.

        • Siribiris says:

          I recommend you to eat the rest of the ballot paper without causing hinders to normal citizens of Sri Lanka

      • Ruwinka says:

        I agree with you how can we have a commissioner like this who is telling twiste things and not telling the truth. The reall heros is staying without any freedom all the MR s people are trying to frame him in to something or the other O lord help these innocent people to stay freely they are the once who gave us freedom not MR who is trying now also to buy arms and get massive comissions for them. May lord can help us only all others n courts are under the threat for this devil. GB our country n all the millatary personnels

        • isuru&saneera says:

          Ruwinka ,

          not the lord but the people can help the country so, rather than telling this to god try to help those who are in need,

      • Anthony says:

        dear Mr. Sam,
        I admire your opinions and findings. But I regret to inform you from now onwards there will not be a chance anyone to work independently or to express his views freely. The foundation is lead to take the whole country forward like Russia about 3-4 decades back in time.

        FUTURE
        Gov already commenced a strong secret service, They will have thousands of elections but results will aways in their
        favor. They will even convert the duty of army to suppress
        any uprise from the people. They will show the common people the supremacy and the patriotism of the President
        to win their Hearts. Who ever try to go against the Gov. will
        be prison on fabricated charges, blackmail their previous offends and crimes or with death threats. This, they have been doing and will do in the future too. If they find out way to trace personal addresses of the people who writes by email, god help people like us.

      • Kartik says:

        I personally feel the election commissioner is a puppet of MR.

      Elections Commissioner himself confirms elections results as dubious –Lakshman Kiriella

      (Lanka-e-News 02.Feb.2010 2.10 PM) UNP M.P. Lakshman Kiriella at a Press briefing on the 01st said , the Elections Commissioner himself confirmed that the elections result was surrounded by doubts and suspicion by stating that he had no power even to safeguard a ballot box at the Prseidential elections 26th January. In such circumsatances , how can you accept the election results?, Kiriella asked.

      Even the SLFP members don’t accept these results, he added.

      The 17th amendment to the constitution was kicked aside by the President. The State media used 99 % of its time on election propaganda programs for the President and even the Supreme Court orders were disobeyed, he added.

      We do not accept the results of the elections. This whole election was wrapped in lawlessness, vote rigging, and murder threats against opposition parties. Gen. Fonseka’s office was totally destroyed by the Govt. goons and murder squads. In Baddegama electorate, 48 offices were devastated. State assets, State officers and State media were abused to the full without any regard to the laws or the directives of the Elections Commissioner, he pointed out.

      The Hotel where the General, the common opposition Presidential candidate was staying being laid siege;when a panel of lawyers tried to meet the elections Commissioner at 10.00 a.m. in the morning of the elections day being refused, and the Elections Commissioner’s signature not anywhere in the elections result sheet all point to the fact that the entire election process and the results were distorted , doctored and rigged, he emphasized.

      Kiriella further stated that preparations are being made to annul the elections via the Courts. The day following the elections, was celebrated by the Govt. over the blood spilling of a Buddhist prelate. A powerful Govt. politico of Nawalapitiya along with his gang went and allegedly killed the chief incumbent Ven. Matara Vimalananda Thero of Tambiligama Baudhaloka Vihara . Until now, no arrests have been made despite the fact that the vehicle used by the assassins was discovered and identified, he lamented.

    • Charles says:

      Some time ago, Sunday Leader used to refer to General Sarath Fonseka’ s estimation of LTTE casualties and say that he was “Arithmatically Challenged”.
      I did not agree with the statement at that time.
      I agree with it now.

    • Citzen Silva says:

      Premadasa was one figure and held far more power as an individual than MR. At that time there was no private electronic media, no internet and in short no real public political dissent. He probably felt omnipotent. Yet he was human, in an instant he was lying dead in the gutter. I am sure Mahinda, Basil, Gota, Chamal, Namal and the inner royal elite, with all the bootlickers and Yes-men around, probably feel invincible. However the higher they soar, not on achievements, but on corruption, corruption and more corruption, with good measures of abductions, beatings, killings, oppression, fraud and lies, the harder they fall.

      The Rajapakses should recall Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu and innumerable other tyrants.. they may discover that honourably losing an election would have by far been the easy way out.

      Dayananda D has decided not to RETIRE changing his attitude to do so after the most fradulent presidential election.

      We did sympathise with you even on that day after the election, because you spoke of the ‘aathathiya’ that you had been subjected to and how there would be no one to look after you, should any harm befall you. And, as many people remarked, the plight that you were in showed in your face that day.
      So, imagine our surprise, dear Dayananda, when you turn up just a few days later with not even enough time to have a decent vacation to announce that you would do it all over again which I suppose would be from the same office that you vowed not to set sights on after the previous big election!
      Where on earth did all that ‘aathathiya’ disappear, dear Dayananda? If you found a miracle cure for it through some faith healer, please do let all of us know about it because, after hearing that you will preside at the next election, most of us are having that same ‘aathathiya’ these days!

        • Shana says:

          Kamal,

          What a joker u are. It was MR’s political leadership that helped to end this war. He and Gotabaya Rajapaksa had to deal with all the international pressure (pressure put by western countries to stop the war). And what did UNP do? They said “onama gonekuta yudda karanna puluwan” “SF gelaweeme hamudawatawat hoda na”, “kilinochchi yanawa kiyala madawachchi yanne” . These were the comments made by UNP.

          Were u sleeeping and suddenly got up man?

          Election was rigged in North & East. That’s why SF won in those areas.

        • Ponseka says:

          You all have forgotten that the vote bank which helped the government in the provincial council election to get more than 60% votes has little been shattered in Presidential Election. That’s why MR got 57%. Mangala Samaraweera’s Gobel’s Theory has worked a little. Otherwise no cleverness was seen from SF by the voters to change their previous decision

  9. maluman says:

    SF sir, we all know the truth. People here who comment against you and who insult you are blind puppets of MR who only watch rupavahini and ITN all day. The rest of us who support you know that this government has manipulated, killed, and bribed over the last 5 years to cling on to power. They did everything in their power (dansalas for 3000 policemen, dansalas for artistes, mudslinging 24 hours a day on ITN, intimidating and killing UNP and JVP supporters, destroying opposition offices etc.) If anyone spoke against the government, they kidnapped or killed them. You are the real president and most of sri lanka support you.
    The war is won but the other aspects of the country such as democracy and the economy have been destroyed. We are not in debt to world institutions for billions and billions of rupees thanks to MR. We have become beggars who beg to develop our country. Now we are hostage to foreign forces and our country has become a playground for battles between India, Pakistan, Russia, USA, and China. Does this make MR a patriot or traitor. It makes him a traitor. Now we have lost the GSP+ thanks to MR’s arrogance. What explanation is he going to give to 1000s of young poor rural people who will lose their jobs?

    This is the most manipulative, corrupt government SL has ever had. They are willing to bribe, kill, kidnap, intimidate in order hang on to power. Does anyone really believe that in spite of flouting all election laws, having dansalas for police officers and artistes at temple trees, slinging mud at SF on state TV 24 hours a day, burning opposition officers, attacking opposition activists, killing opposition members etc, that this election was free and fair. It is obvious they rigged it and robbed it. How could the government (which surveys indicated would lose the election), win SF’s hometown ambalangoda, CBK’s hometown Attanagalla, UNP’s stronghold Colombo, and JVP’s stronghold Tissamaharama?????

      Ha.. Ha.. Almost all the past UNP governments had the the will to bribe, kill, kidnap, intimidate in order to hang on to power. The difference and greatest ability of this government is that the efficiency they showed in annihilating the death squad of prabhakaran and rapid infrastructure development they are carriyng out ! Ranil or SF will never be able to acheive this even in 40 years of power!

      An Open letter to the Election Commissioner of Sri Lanka
      Thursday, February 4, 2010
      - A Gobitharan (London)

      Dear Mr Dissanayake

      (February 05, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) Recent events following the Presidential election have put you on the negative limelight, due to your confusing and contradicting comments made head down without looking at the audience.

      Lots of accusations are leveled against you. Some have been denied. The manner in which you are responding to the issues surrounding the conduct and the outcome of the election is further confusing the citizens like me. I plead with you to look at the face of the world at large and tell the truth to the following serious questions.

      Question 1: According the ‘The Times’ report filed by Jeremy Page ‘The President’s brother and adviser, went to see the Independent Elections Commissioner just before the latter announced the final results. The ministers denied that Basil Rajapaksa was meeting the commissioner, and said that he was asleep at the time, but Ms Wenger said that she saw him leave the Commissioner’s office immediately after the press conference’.

      My simple question to you is: Did Basil Rajapakse meet you just before the election results were announced? If so, what was discussed or ordered by him?

      Question 2: Sri Lanka Guardian in its exclusive news reported that you and your wife were held in captivity in the Presidents official residence Temple Trees and intimidated to obtain your consent to announce the government favoured comments on the outcome of the election and also to get your resignation announcement withdrawn.

      In the public interest and to earn the public confidence, would you kindly confirm by looking at the audience straight on their face without fear or subdued voice, whether this story is true or false.

      Question 3: The Lankanewsweb in its latest news headlined ‘A group of Army personnel had imprisoned Election Commissioner’s wife and daughter at Water’s Edge on the election day’.

      Once again in the public interest, will you be able to confirm this story is true or false.

      I understand that you are not permitted to travel overseas until the General Election is over. If this is not true, will you be able to travel to the UK or any other healthy democratic country and make a public statement on the issues surrounding the election. I am prepared to fund your first class flight ticket for your visit, as I consider your public statement in a respectable place without any fear of recrimination will be very useful for Sri Lanka’s future.

      Finally, with the very serious accusations levelled against you on the conduct of the Presidential election, how do you expect the citizens of Sri Lanka to consider you are independent to conduct the forthcoming General Election? Will you make a public statement to confirm what action you will be taking to overcome the difficulties you have encountered during the Presidential election to ensure the difficulties are not repeated with your backing?

      I agree with u

    • mohamed wadood says:

      maluman – you have no clue. Do you know what happened to john mccain / sarah palin in 2008 . similar fate to SF THE PUNDITS ARE WRONG AS WELL AS YOU.

  12. Rahul says:

    These type of accusations had been there after every election whether UNP wins or the other party wins…Ballot papers are printed under high security or cannot be stolen out of the polling booths, in every P/booth there are agents of each candidate and in every ballot paper there is a security No. , like on currency notes, what SF can do it is hand over this to the proper legal source for an impartial inquiry…..Re election – Many learned who contribute/write here does not understand the True picture (and blindly criticise and throw mud at either SF or MR.) or what is happening in Sri Lanka, I live in USA & TRAVELLED TO S/L during OCT/NOV/Dec 09 and visited North/South and East and can give an impartial report: the weakness of this President ,is that there are some members of his family who try to ruin his good reputation , there is some sort of corruption in some of ministries and in the public service like what happened during UNP rule, there is no whatsoever accusation directly at the President….this President is loved by the Sinhala,muslim and a section of the tamil population as he had been a very strong leader who loves his country, people are happy that there are NO BOMBS on streets and no passport is needed to cross Anuradhapura or to the East, I noted that specially mothers are happy that children and husbands are safe to return home, this is after 30 years of WAR, there a lot of development taking place by way of Roads and infrastructure. looking at the situ I expected MR to score over 60%. The reason why Sarath F. did not get more votes was because of JVP ( the sinhala people hate them and they command about 1% of the vote) Most votes SF received was the UNP vote base , I noted people no longer support this great party UNP, as people feel UNP & SLFP policies are one and the same and SLFP & specially MR’s policy on Terrorism is much stronger. My thinking is that the next General election will see around 62% or even more for the ruling party. Unless UNP get rid of the corrupt old politicians like Ravi K. and starts a new journey it is very difficult for them to come to power or get a larger piece of the cake.

    • Anthony says:

      I Agree with you for some of your points If you say MR is not aware of what his subordinates do, you are mistaken my dear, I assume you have been living in out of the country much more than you live here . The
      mostly corrupted politicians who were with UNP are now with MR. So to a great extend UNP is much cleaner than ever before.MR and his people were all out to make MR win to get away from all the corruptions

  13. randy mathew says:

    YOU ARE RIGHT, GENERAL. MR HAS HIJACKED THE VICTORY AGAIN AS HE DID IN 2005. WHILE THIS IS NOT SURPRISING COMING FROM HIM, IT IS SAD AND DISGRACEFUL. THEY SAY THAT IN THE WORST OF PEOPLE, THERE IS SOME GOOD BUT IN THIS CURSED & WICKED FAMILY DYNASTY, THERE IS NOT AN IOTA OF GOODNESS. MY HEART BLEEDS FOR SL WHEN I SEE THAT A BUNCH OF VILLAGE GODAYA THUGS HAVE RETAINED THEIR POWER BY MASS SCALE RIGGING OF THE ELECTION AND WANT TO CONTIUE RUINING THE COUNTRY.
    THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL THEMSELVES BUDDHISTS AND BUDDHISTS THEY ARE NOT IN SPITE OF GOING TO TEMPLES.
    EVIL DOES NOT LAST FOREVER AND THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN THIS THIRD GRADE FAMILY IS KICKED OUT. HOW DARE THEY GO AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE ? THEY HAVE THE CHEEK TO CALL THEMSELVES THE ROYAL FAMILY AND PATRIOTS. THEY WERE WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR OFFICE AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE GOT IT, THEY DONT WANT TO LET GO. SL WILL HAVE NO HOPE AFTER ANOTHER 6 YEARS UNDER THIS DESPOT.

    • Lalith S says:

      Hi
      Please read the ‘IRUDINA’ conversation with Vijira Abewardana. He clearly said this blame game should stop now. He mentioned that there were no any bad thing happaned in Galle. He accept ed the depeat

    • SL Lover says:

      MR rigged both elections, in 2005 by paying 180M to LTTE and in 2010 by ballot rigging at the counting centers and kidnapping the EC and his family. No body can’t help the poor Sri Lankan souls.

    • Frances says:

      ‘THEY HAVE THE CHEEK TO CALL THEMSELVES THE ROYAL FAMILY’ please show me proof where MR has said that their ‘the royal family’, and by the way people who write only in uppercase are supposed to be bullies.

  14. Psycho says:

    At “Pissankotuwa” lots of chaps declare themseleves ” the President of Sri Lanka”. Best place is to provide him asylum (political!) in one of those pissu wards.

  15. Randy Mathew says:

    YES, YOU ARE RIGHT. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN GOING AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. MAY THE CURSE OF THE PEOPLE FALL UPON THIS BUNCH OF VILLAGE GODAYA THUGS AND ROGUES.

        • siribiris 2 says:

          @ Randy: Also first you must unlock the “CAPS LOCK” button on your keyboard so that the rest of us know you are computer literate and not a “bigot” who looks down on others inability to spell another language, that is probably not their native tongue!

    • Frances says:

      Do you think that the JVP are not cursed by the people for their murderous spree in 71, 88 & 89, or the TNA for their open support for the LTTE who were responsible for so much of killings, most of us are willing to put up with village godayas thugs & rougues, but not with these in humans who have got real blood on their hands. Hope you are taking treatment for your memory loss.

  16. Sarath.Jay says:

    Fonseka is a lunatic case.Take him to Angoda.

    • Oscar says:

      SF is not a lunatic ! guys who seem to write nonse are the bunch of lunatics born to IDI AMIN family. There is a lunatic who do not even know how to behave on media coverage, the Ass hole, in Dark Glasses, the thug who sent people hoot at the Kelaniya Temple of worship. So you too belong to this culture of men. Trying to tarnish General Fonseka’s image. For brainless fellows like you Angoda is too good a place. You guys are the PIMPS of IDI AMIN, must be sent to Hell.

      • Lunatic says:

        I assure you Oscar , he was with me at asylum! Check the admission register if you have doubts.

      • JagathW says:

        Oscar you boss has taught you well..In a few sentenses you said it all
        “the Ass hole,
        the thug
        brainless fellows like you
        the PIMPS
        must be sent to Hell.”

        keep talking my friend..

    • Matalan says:

      You and Rajapakshes his c ut-throats MPs are worse lunatics. Fonseka was asked to lead over 150,000 troops by Rajapakshes and win the unwinnable 30 year old war. Did he prove who exactly are the lunatics?

  17. Reality says:

    There are various persons commenting that the polls were rigged with Hi-tech and computers. The sad part is that in the whole Island there is not a person who can specifically say exactly how it was done, at least release the exact method to the media. As there are no concrete facts, all this rigging rumors amounts to Bar Talk.

    • Punchinilame says:

      Yes, there were Experts on the Fake Video of Killing Tamils.
      Why not they be called to say something on Rigging. No,
      Never – Idid Amin is on the look out should you even attempt
      to think that there was Rigging by MR Bros. Even the Courts
      will not dare to give a correct verdict in S.Lanka!!

      What can 4 Mahanayakes do – except keeping Blessing GOSL
      leaders!

    • Rathnavali says:

      http://www.nigerdeltacongress.com/rarticles/rigging_in_nigeria.htm

      The article given above describes the various forms of election rigging that is possible and that has been put to practice in Nigeria. The ones called Satellite voting, Goal Keeper’s method and Technical rigging may have happened during the recently concluded Presidential elections, going by what we hear from various sources.

      The only way to prevent it from happening again during the parliamentary elections is to ensure that the Elections Officers are not bought over, since without their participation no election rigging can ever take place.

  18. Mano Manoharan says:

    Brother Sarath,
    Best thing you can do is join the UPFA Govt and become Deputy Defence Minister. Or else, you can become the Bribery Commissioner. That way you can have your bullet proof BMW and the 70 soldiers back and also, the Govt will pay your rent for the Queens Road residence. Then, in 2017, you can contest the UNP’s nominee for president.

  19. Popsy says:

    When a ballot burnt like this its a sign that democracy is burnt completly by the ruling governent

    • Frances says:

      MR should investigate and find this gona who stuffed half burnt ballot papers lying in a drain without burning it to ashes, so that SF could find them out and shout and wave this as proof that the elections was rigged, truly MR has some real gonas working for him, who even can’t burn some papers to ashes without leaving any trace.

  22. Kingkong says:

    Who can’t print a ballot paper from the specimen provided by the election commissioner and burn half to avoid important identity of the original and go before the press and display it as if this was done by MR. Where were your polling agaents if this is true? First of all you don’t have a vote to cast for you! All what you have is a US Green Card, which you treasure more than anything. General, please don’t insult the intelligence of our Sri Lankans. You better tell this to the ‘konde bendapu Cheenunta’. You have become a big joker now. The ideal place for you to entertain people is ‘Bogaha Handiya’ – Pettah, Colombo!

  23. Charles says:

    One swallow does not make a Summer. 64 spoilt ballot papers does not make SF the President.
    He has had his two moths of glory. Why cannot Ranil tell him to go away and make use of his green card?
    The UNP has to focus on the General Election since there is nothing to be gained by flogging a dead horse. Otherwise the Constitution may get changed in such a way that the UNP will never get a majority in Parliament.

  24. When all passions have dried up, ink flow has ebbed, 6 years from now, In all my years I discover that some Lankans love to have their buttocks kicked in, time and time and again, they all come back to the same old curry. The officers who bravely fought a war, some losing their lives, some their limbs and irrecuperably human wrecks, this gang of Rats that used the valour of these soldiers, today are attempting to frame them of Coup d’etats etc, etc, Mahinda’s politicians have shown contempt towards all world ethics. Why does Lanka need to indebt itself further with the Russian Mafia? In 6 years when the Lankan has nothing in his plate and his quality of life diminished day to day hope they shall all stand up and curse the day they all danced in the streets.

  25. Peter says:

    Panishkarsinghala! you can write page after page like this but you will never succeed in convincing these guys that only a corrupt free, good governance can bring peace and prosperity to this country. It is like you are trying to straighten the dogs tail. First of all they were not spoilt ballot papers but valid ballot papers thrown into the dust bin and burnt and secondly whether it is 64 or 4 it is only sensible to find out why they were thrown out and burnt. As you say I do not think we need to wait for 6 years but I think the day this regime submits its first budget, which it has postponed in the past for obvious reasons and allow the ‘Patriots’ to light fire crackers and have some fun, it will be the day these guys see the stars in the day light. The $300 million loan is the price the subjects are paying for the ‘Doctorate’ awarded to their ‘King’. Surely it is a small price to pay and it is good excuse for the ‘Patriotic’ subjects to light fire crackers and have some more fun.So everything boils downto the saying ‘ the Government the people of a country gets is what they deserve’.So sit back and enjoy the show.

    Ranil & MR are both heroes who achieved unbelievable victory for the mother Sri Lanka. Ranil started it. He begged Peace from Prabhakan. He gave LTTE an international recognition. He allowed them to smuggle arms and kill our intelligence. He did not have any plan to destroy LTTE but to beg for peace. During his two years there was no economic development in the country other than in papers published by CB. During his two years Ranil irradiated two main myths from people’s mind.
    1. Even you give Elam to LTTE they will continue to kill all Sri Lankans
    2. Stopping war will not bring economic development or reduction in COL

    This was the platform for MR’s victory in 2005. Even after that Ranil continued to support this victory by constantly supplying MPs to MR for stable parliament and harbouring and leading all parties and international forces who wants to ruin my mother Sri Lanka. He led them from one loss to another not allowing them to think about alternatives. MR would never have achieved any victory without Ranil. Though Ranil is evil to this country, He is a necessary Evil

    Premadasa was one figure and held far more power as an individual than MR. At that time there was no private electronic media, no internet and in short no real public political dissent. He probably felt omnipotent. Yet he was human, in an instant he was lying dead in the gutter. I am sure Mahinda, Basil, Gota, Chamal, Namal and the inner royal elite, with all the bootlickers and Yes-men around, probably feel invincible. However the higher they soar, not on achievements, but on corruption, corruption and more corruption, with good measures of abductions, beatings, killings, oppression, fraud and lies, the harder they fall.

    The Rajapakses should recall Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu and innumerable other tyrants.. they may discover that honourably losing an election would have by far been the easy way out.

  36. Ponseka says:

    You all have forgotten that the vote bank which helped the government in the provincial council election to get more than 60% votes has little been shattered in Presidential Election. That’s why MR got 57%. Mangala Samaraweera’s Gobel’s Theory has worked a little. Otherwise no cleverness was seen from SF by the voters to change their previous decision
