I
want the Election Commissioner to Resign!
I
want the Election Commissioner to Resign!
But
there is a caveat, here.
Within
six weeks of his resignation, he should declare that he is running
for the post of presidency.
With
much effort a “Third Force” was developed under Reverend Sobitha
and it petered out since guys and girls who were behind this “Forum”
gave up the “Strategy” for posts like governers, ambassadors,
advisers and the lot.
Jayadeva
Uyangoda and Prof.Wijesuriya who were left with carrying forward the
above political agenda has not found a guy yet.
This
is my novelty for them to work on.
The
next time, the post of presidency is a titular post and we do not want
anybody with past, present or future political party affiliation to
hold this post for at least 10 years, till the democracy is restored
to its 1960s pristine form.
We
do not want the current PM, Opposition Leader or the President to
become the next PM ( or their sons or daughters to become inheritors
to ruin the democracy further).
This
proposal will upset the apple cart of all three current political
parties including J.V.P (a spent force of 40 odd years).
My
estimate is that, next time round, we won’t be able to find a guy or girl to command
50% of the total vote and a second count becomes mandatory.
If
the Mahinda Deshapriya at worst gets 35% (my belief he can get 50%
and we can work hard for his success) most of the second vote will be
cast in his favour by party addicts (they won’t give to an alternative
party by default).
I
have a belief that the J.V.P. strategy of spoiling the soup can be best
avoided by above move.
Mahinda
Deshapriya should not worry about his successor and the “Third
Force” will rejuvenate and look after the “Civil Service”
without political interference.
This is food for thought for all
Ceylonese and I waited till the “World Cup” elimination to pen
this.
Please
forward this with improvements to the strategy.
Once election is declared, I will go into hibernation!
