Now, AKD hints at intervening in private businesses already struggling with labor shortages, currency issues, and the economic crisis. Populism without solid policies leads to failure—just look at Argentina and Venezuela.

I am glad that fuel prices didn't go down by the unrealistic numbers promised during the election. Good lesson for voters and politicians about fake and unrealistic promises vs true and pragmatic solutions.
When NPP came for canvassing, I ONLY asked one thing. Why don't you guys ask ur leaders to speak about Tiral Allas or at least about VFS Scam on stage??? Mention about Tiral Allas and his corrupt acts. Then we can talk about crushing corruption in

The rumors of Parliament dissolution are concerning. Not because I am against an Election, but because the corrupt Families that have ruined the country are making a comeback. Corrupt Rajapakses should not make a comeback.

My utmost fear in PE is two major parties declaring IMF renegotiations. It means failure in 4th tranche in Dec. Utilizing the foreign currency reserves may lead to major liquidity problem like in 2020 resulting a re-bankruptcy. Don't vote emotionally, vote rationally.

JVP or Commies don’t run the country. Whether we liked it or not,

This is such as degradation for women. Is Tilvin suggesting that women are less competent or inferior? If this comment came from the opposition, we'd expect the NPP women to strongly oppose it. Where are they now?

When the only sensible JVPer has to say this, imagine what other JVPers stances will be. A JVP era will sure be another Gota era. Again this is the reason, you have got to pay attention on what these people say closely and precisely.

Neither you nor I are politically influential characters. So your support for me at this point has no major effect. But this is not like you and me. It's RW's choice to take his support. And this is my choice to reject RW for that choice. And that's my democratic choice. (1/2)
By all means, I agree with RW’s way of handling the Economy although he lacks empathy towards certain social classes. That being said he must take a step back and let a new and capable fella take the office which would be better for this country.

These are political deals. Consciously happening. The sad part is that Rohitha will win the next GE from Kaluthara. Bugger has a block vote which moves around with him and the buffer is provided by the party.
Entirely reasonable for citizens to demand that Keheliya be arrested.
So far 7 arrests all implicating him in the descision to import substandard medication.
Why is he being protected? This is why we keep fighting for equal justice.

I wish they they will let him come in to the University and then preferably have a protes. Best way forward is to question the leader as any quality undergrads will do in other countries, which is not the same in politicized SL student bodies
Why should we listen to a party responsible for the chaos? Since they have no leverage in the Presidential Election, BR is justifying the GE. It's like, we can’t win a majority, so let's bring a GE first. This ppl should be in prison not in front of the media.

@HashanChan
Do not support a party just because you have no option yet. Look at their policies and past work. JVP is a leftist party who have socialist principles for economic development that will not help a bankrupt country. I’d rather cast my vote to a small party with a good policy.
We ask number of questions from our building contractors about their work when we hand over our projects.
Do we ask the same questions from leaders we choose to lead our country?
At least about their previous work!
We have no time to test. It’s time to ask right questions.
