Five Star Democracy and its grading


Five Star Democracy and its grading

First a reminder to our Chief Election Commissioner, that he should ban all public display of posters and overhead hangers littering the country side for over three months from now.
He should advise them to deliver hand bill personally by the candidates (not by stooges).
For his part President of the Country should as the Chief Litter Collector, because he believes in beautifying the country by his own will.
The street painters of the new vogue should stop vandalizing the street walls of the country (wasting valuable learning time (English in particular) of the kids who have artistic talents).
If they want to to do any arts, they should avoid all political colours in their public paintings.
I saw an elephant painted in blue.
They are brown to lighter black are never green or blue.
I had a suggestion that Election Commissioner should ban using animal as political symbols including cocks and cockerels.
Let me begin with the star grading of hospitality trade (hotels) and hospitals.
I can dispense with hospital with one line, “There are no hospitals with any star grade both in private and public arena on empathy and sympathy”.
I sympathize with the few new entrants who start with some stars but become structured in five years and become rigid and frigid, the entire life with money as the only motive.
Now my star system has No Stars as the base line and they go from 1 to 5 with six gradings.

1.Let me start with buses.
Most of the public buses go into no grading with no leg space or room to breath, just like domestic and international airplanes in economy class.
Only five star buses are for the tourists.

2. Come to political parties, most of them hold no stars for over 70 years and they love to display their lack of stars.
Only a few will get one star or two.
No five star parties and we never will.

3. Telecoms industry Lanka Bell (4 stars) and Dialog (3 stars) get few stars and Mobitel none.

4. Water Board and Electricity board gets no stars.

5. Public sector including Education gets no stars.

6. Immigration and Emigration get one star.

7. All candidates from major parties (Not attended schools is a basic qualification) including supposed to be intellectual over 55 who are retired from public service (if they hold stars they should be serving the Universities abroad. There is a dearth of intellectuals in universities) get no stars or one.

8. Most of the politically appointed ambassadors also get no stars.
