Welcome! Looking at the history, for any country to develop, there has to be long-term political stability. Perhaps for the last time in many decade to come, Sri Lanka has a government with vision and a plan (that is assuming Rajapaksha’s have learnt a lesson by looking at what sank the Mahinda Rajapaksha’s government), though like everything on earth, they are not perfect. Sri Lanka has the best chance of achieving that with China. (I heard on the news there were 40 new political parties want to be registered in Sri Lanka. Rejoice the democracy the Imperialist left with us to make sure we will be divided and fighting with ourselves, never be united to peruse a goal and develop, but go licking their shoes forever for handouts and bend to their will rather than what is good for us! Of course the democracy will be fine when we have an economy strong enough to support our citizens and corruption in the society has been eliminated and until people understand that is to everybody’s gain.
