Bravo!
Do these people, the so called patriots, know what they are doing?
In my eyes and in the eyes of the majority of the amude-wearing Sri Lankans, they are stupid playing around with paper with no feelings whatsoever about the impact of the sociopolitical on the common man.
They talk of eliminating corruption. How many of those on the stage are willing to part with corrupt earnings?
I will support Sajith Premadasa if he gives up all his wealth and rents a flat in Rawatawatte.
I will support Chandrika if she gives up all her wealth and lives in a mud hut behind a Kandy Rd kiosk in Horoagolla.
Rajitha Senaratne is irredeemable, if he was not corrupt he should be on the stage in a banyon and sarong.
The winners of this drama will be the Kolomba Kaki (the crows of Colombo), the stock market manipulators and commission brokers. They will shift their allegiance to Maithri the Court Jester the day he is elected.
