Lies, damn lies and pseudo-statistics

Lies, damn lies and pseudo-statistics

Big Picture

Unlike in the West we cannot use statistics to analyze politics in Ceylon.

 

A 3% shift is enough to make a landslide in the West.

 

JVP/NPP rise was the biggest aberration to our politics, that is why I call it the "Flash In The Pan" and I did not believe that they will sink  to the bootom within 7 months..

 

Simple logic

Lies and promises that cannot be fulfilled.

Lies, damn lies and pseudo-statistics.

If Kumar David would have been alive he would made an accurate analysis. Unfortunately, he is gone and he had ample historical material.

 

I am no replacement at all.

Historical Base Lines in Ceylon

30% pseudo left

30% pseudo right 

40% uncommitted or floating vote.

My Wish

20% real left

20% real right

 

60% silent masses, that is when the system change is possible. 

 

In other words majority overtakes the politicians of the day.

 

This was slowly happening in Ceylon but these NPP guys ruined it.  Politically, nationality and internationally they are immature and cannot take the mantle.

 

In other words they are kindergarten type.

 

Sorry for me being blunt and that is the reality.

So in another two years (time to sink in the current aberrant reality), we get another chance to revisit or recharge our politics.

 

Dump the old radical views.

 

People friendly not party friendly evolution should happen not automatically but by careful education.

Champika Ranawake has a role within the parliament or outside of it. 

Ravi Kumudesh has a place in educating the  misguided masses.

 

Average citizen in my opinion is still stupid but nobody can openly say that which is a political suicide if a politician does it.

Citizen always think he or she is very smart once in 5 years.

 

That is the tragedy.

 

End result was a party which has done irreparable damage to our economy coming to power when economy has hit the rock bottom.

"Dayiwopagatha Karmaya Pala Deema".

"Munta Dharmaya Therrenne Nane".

That is why I say we should have elections every 3 years as in General Management.

1. One year to learn.

2. One year to act on the job.

3. Third year either to quit or plan to reenter or taste the rotten egg.

I can make these valid comments since, I am fully retired doctor who is not even living in Ceylon.

 

During my time I did my part withing available resources.

Hope a rising political star is born within the next decade.
