You must be living in a bunker, During the Premadasa’s years he had setup the industrial zones and factories for the employment and he had stole zero rupee from the Government.

During his year Sri Lanka’s GDP were rapidly grown faster compared today’s GDP growth and this is called J. R. Jayewardene’s Machine that helped the millions of Sri Lankan’s employment. Still upto today UNP’s philosophy of J.R Jayewardene exists.

The problem is that Expressways and road development didn’t really benefit the Sri Lankan citizens they’re worrying about their cost of living and lack of employment this will led the defeat of incumbent President this election.

As citizen of Sri lanka i honour President Rajapaksa’s victory over terrorism and he has brought the country the peace. However when the time changes the Rajapaksa’s cabinet becomes too incapable of developing the country. They were too immature in economics and Foreign Diplomatic of Sri Lanka are mostly unqualified diplomatics this dynamically reduced the Sri Lanka’s image internationally which became more unfriendly to the Western Powers which will lead Sri Lanka’s future into dark era and this couldn’t save Sri Lanka from danger.

Only the solution is that the opposition are capably of fixing these kind of issues that currently the Sri Lankans are facing today.

The unity of the common opposition is quite uncertain…too much uncertainty among the members, their ideas and their respective policies. Simply many personalities with too many different ideas.
If elected will the uncertainty of the common front will effect the unity, and the stability of the nation? Some famous personalities from the common front are using this situation to gain power. Unfortunately when they were in power their performence was very poor. The corruption was not better than now and law and order was aslo neglected.

Sri Lanka was suffering 30 years due to the war. Since the war ended the economy is growing
The economic growth is the best in south east asia. The people can move around the country
without any fear. The poverty is decreasing. The unemployment is decreasing. GDP is growing.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t… 

So why change and give the ball to our old players whose performence was worse than the present government,
I am for a change if capable personalities are involved. Unfortunately it is not the case. They have put someone as a common candidate and all the old faces are hiding behind him and promising endless wonders. These promises will bring lot of troubles to the national security.
Some promises if not fulfilled can danger the national harmony. Are we promoting riots because of those empty promises.
Under present circumstances it is better not to change.
Why cange a winning team?

There is NO terrorism
There is development infrastructure
Stable currency
its a beautiful and a cleaner country
we have got the second and third satellites inline for the launch

Corruption is there (and it was there all along) but this time its within the family… thats whats bothering most of the people who are leaving the family party and joining the common party (hoping to get a piece of the cake)

RW and MR were together all the time..

personally the the 2 were together all their political lives and and one was a better stronger person and came on top… the other climbs on the opposition and try to beat the stronger one….

We have to change current government,because Mahinda Rajapaksa government ill treating low and middle income people,for all road development projects money taken from raising the price of consumer items,
and has not made at least 10 manufacturing industries leading to high way roads. we cannot go to duty on time , ,traffic due to road development,ships going in sea but container vessels on the the road making huge traffic,we dont have much imports and exports,they just come for repairs. low income people cannot
get a bank loan, so many embargoes. We dont blame his family having luxury life,but not a big bank balance,they should prove how they earn it,what businesses they did to earn massive dollar reserve. M>R> sold parts of Sri lanka to China,it is a purpose of developing the country, we accept this issue. in last budget massive ammount taken to presidents expenses,23 million rupees per day, not acceptable at all.
parliament ministers cannot take any decisions to make the country better because IF PRESIDENT`S MONOP0LY RULING.
All above issues going to address and make a change by Maithripala Sirisena regeme, Nobody likes RANIL WIKRAMASINGHE,once ranil was youth mister half of youth population vanished from Sri lanka due to war with LTTE and jvp rebels, once ranil was inustial minister industries boomed and vanished

Family rule, it’s ok if the work is been done properly. This is the first time we experience development even with corruption but before only corruption that was UNP. Kumarathungas, Jeevan and Ranjan these are all Chandrika’s relatives and from where the hell these got in? Is this not family connections?
Srilankans don’t allow a good leadership like that of NR to carry on they simply want change or grab power for corruption purposes. The younger people of this country must study the past UNP governments before they vote this time. They would find that both Ranil and Chandrika are no match to MR. In way of initiative and vision. [Edited out] Chandrika is creeping to have another go at it to rob and push her son into politics and another sure disaster to the nation. Coalition is a fake non working idea and full of disagreements within it. MR loves the nation that’s why he got the courage to fight the war to win, against Western maniacs who wanted the terrorism to continue for their entertainment!!!

Sri Lanka is nowadays are suffering, Sounds like you don’t live Sri Lanka and if you ever had visited Sri Lanka you’ll know the sufferings of Sri Lankan people.

After the war the country has gotten more worsen in terms of economic and the Govt continued to steal the state resources and the money from Inland Revenue Department. The Government also provides false informations of economy growth.

Even if the UNP wins they’ll attempt to restore the stability and Good Governance, UNP is known to do the economy tactics, While MR knows to win the war and doesn’t know how to develop the country, He’s mostly focused on roads, railway and power development, This doesn’t benefit the Sri Lankan people thus this is huge wastage of public fund.

Are we to go back there?

Do you honestly believe the New DIS-organization headed/Controlled by ???? CB?, RW?, MS?, MS (yellow)?, AR (yellow)? SF? … has the capability to bring chicken to the mouths of the poor Srilankans, or to do anything else worthwhile for them?? Don’t tell me presidential powers is the most severe burning problem of the poor man who has not tasted chicken. Past performance and experience is a prerequisite for any job. Mind you, This job is quite important for ALL of us.

Most Srilankans have a very short memory. VP used to say Sinhalaya will forget everything in 3 weeks.

And I am getting to feel that many Srilankans are missing (and looking forward for) the Score of deaths in daily news bulletins, bomb blasts in public places, sight of white flags on the roads announcing the funerals of members of forces as well as civilian victims of terrorists.
