Unlike you guys, lot of money is involved in these positions, hence our guys and their supporters will fight like this. If you want to understand these dynamics, try to be a minister for a week in SriLanka!

If you were not colourful ain't worth loving you. Sri Lankans are friendly. Germans do acknowledge that. Politics is different from politicians here in Germany too.
