Tactical Voting and Second Option is a Valid Entity

Tactical Voting and Second Option is a Valid Entity
I see a partisan journalist from a partisan paper (calling them national papers is wrong since they do not elaborate on alternative views or strategy) discouraging the voter of that relatively, "not time tested opportunity" (by the way, not so democratic option) of a second option.
My analysis is that the second option negates the validity of the first option.
I have given detailed analysis elsewhere and this journalist may have browsed it and hit his panic button appropriately.
He is not Dullos A (his tactics won't work this time round).
Let me be brief.
Muslim vote won't dent the outcome in numbers or in percentages.
I will leave it at that and won't expand here. 
Sinhala vote won't distort the outcome.
It is the Tamil second option that will send shock down the spinal cord of our labile polity.
They will for the first time will have the final laugh.
The new voter won't have any influence except that they would spread across the divided base.
The 7 weeks of campaign have only a marginal effect.
The statistics of Rajapaksa brothers, especially Basil's analysis will have a shock and they won't be able rig, this time round, due to the iron hand of Mahinda Deshapriya.
One and only (the last of the tradition) proper Civil Servant.
