I think its the entertainment time, so here’s a question. A lot of media reports question about the possibility of Sarath Fonseka contesting with the JVP getting more preferential votes than Ranil Wickramasinghe. What many of these reports don’t seem to consider is that preferential votes come out of actual party votes. Here are the [...]

The JVP and UNP are contesting separately, it seems. UNP will contest as the old UNF, under elephant symbol, while JVP with some other name boards and Sarath Fonseka will contest under the Democratic National Alliance, under Trophy symbol, oh irony. So far, UNP seems to have washed its hands off the Fonseka Farce. Even [...]

Aruni triggered a post that I wanted to write for some time now. A post that addresses the question whether the JVP will resort to violence and terrorism. I don’t think that they will in the full1989 gore of it. However, one could see that when it comes to changing colors, JVP could make Chameleons [...]

And in any case I do not wish him to be slain in this evil mood. He was great once, of a Noble kind that we should not dare to raise our hands against. He is fallen, and his cure is beyond us. – Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings Aftermath of the [...]

So Sarath Fonseka is arrested. Those who went on all sorts of apologia for the Fonseka-Mangala-JVP-TNA-UNP-SLMC dirty election alliance are now crying about the loss of democrasy.
