look at the huge majorities he got from from some Sinhala areas with all the Negative publicity against him.................


LOL... desperate comment to say the least.

MR got all those votes thank to the JVP. MR got all those votes publicising LIES, LIES and NOTHING BUT LIES - all those false promises - massive wage hikes, brinig down the COL, Ranil has secret pact with LTTE, Stopping curruption etc etc etc...

Today just look at the COL and who did the LTTE side with? And who had the secret pact with the LTTE?

The ONLY reason MR is in power is because of Mangala + JVP + LTTE.

MR couldnt even win him OWN district - Hamabanthota without the JVP. Look at the past GE results.

2000 GE - Contested W/O the JVP and LOST.
2001 GE - Contested W/O the JVP and LOST.
2004 GE - Contested With the JVP and Won.

Source: www.Srilankanelections.com

Add to the this the Current COL, Curruption, thuggary, Secret pact with LTTE to win elections and we can only image what will happen to this BUFFOON.

JVP holds the key to MRs future. Contest with the JVP and MR will probably win. Contest with out the JVP and he wont even have his Amude left :):)

Vimukth,

Your argument is flawed and is based on the fact that the Sinhala vote matters more than the Tamil vote. Despite MR being able to secure some areas with a bigger majority doesn't really mean that he has the mandate to rule. What matters at the end of the day is the majority that he receives as a country as a whole (This includes the north east where people were deprived of voting). Now nobody is saying that the UNP would have been able to secure all those 600,000 votes (+ the voters who were deprived in the south as well), but the conditions in the north are favourable to UNP due to its policies on the ethnic conflict and therefore would have been able to surpass the majority that MR got which was a mere 180,000 votes.

As for, Chandrika supporting RW at the presidential elections. It doesn't matter as long as voters make an informed decision by themselves and not at gun point or by an external entity. As long as those conditions are met, those votes have the same validity as yours or mine.

Now if you were to argue what RW has said along the lines of democracy not mattering that much and what actually matters is the Sinhala vote and not the Tamil vote, then I will accept your argument despite it being down right racists as well as mock on democracy.

Very true! :) :) See maharoof - i agree with you sometimes.. But from the looks of it, MR will lose his Amude very soon. JVP is attacking MR and praising RW - even in small way. JVP doesnt need to join RW. all they need to do is not support MR.

Now the only thing left to do after MR loses him Amude is to cover his arse with your face!! :) :)

Runil's political show is like the Bus Bunny show for Sri Lankans. He never win any argument or hearts of average people. His only interst is to topple the existing Govt. at the cost of average civilions and the tax payers.He has no sympothy for the cost for another election for a small country like SL.
The only way he could gain the credibility and the accountability for the country is by helping the present govt.with passion no matter whatever the politcal differences are, if he want to win the next election.
I am pretty sure that Prabakaran or Karuna Tamilion work with passion definetely they could make much more better leaders and leaderships if these people put their mind to accept the leadership with no LTTE or Separate State tag in their mind.(like Laksman Kadiragamer)

Very true. Historically these seats are not totally SLFP, If you remember these are very influential areas(Tissa, Mulkirigala, Hamba & Tangalle) for JVP, in fact in 1982 Wijeweera along had a huge amounts of votes in Tangalle, Tissa & Hambantota, making his best District in the island polling about 30,000 something, where JR had 70k and Hector K 60k something. This is why unless JVP supports Mahinda is in big hell hole.

But I feel should the JVP let UNP win that will probably be the end of the JVP too. Remember whenever a UNP government comes to power its v bad news for JVP, and they know that so make a snap poll tomorrow JVP will back Mahinda so UNP will have no chance of ruling.

We all have to forget the past and work for the future. Arguing and fighting for the things already happened is uselessas like plying drums for deaf elephats. Most arguments here in are very much chidish and emmotional involvements tather than dicussions that would curb the corruption and mis presentation abuses in both sides of the democatic Govt. Dont be a slave and a consumer of a political propaganda machine.

JRJ,

Yeah you are right. At this point JVP's and MR's political objectives are more aligned as far as the war goes and given a snap election, the JVP would jump back on the government's band wagon. Neither the SLFP nor the JVP can contest without each other and hope for a significant victory.

MC,

The trouble is Mahinda goes for war to please the JVP and JHU but is he really doing the war is what I am asking?

For me if the war is honest we would have got a result. Even JHU now believe the war should be only for 6 months to crush the LTTE, but the issue is, is Mahinda really crushing or just playing to JHU? This sounds to me that these things are carried to appease Mahinda's helpers but Mahinda alone is not sure what is best for the country. He wants power to stay in to make some money like his predecessor that wicth CBK.
