Why is there fear to face a debate?

Vimasuma Monday, 22 December 2014 08:00 AM

It should be a one on one debate because this is a presidential election.A sincere diplomat who wants to work for the country having nothing to hide comes forward for debates without fear. Those who don’t are the opposite. If the president is avoiding a debate, the reasons are obvious. Our people being unable to understand this is the country’s downfall …!

The President is scared of a debate as he cannot prove his points expressed for the people who cannot understand such things.

What is there to discuss at this 11 hour?

Thomas Ranger Monday, 22 December 2014 08:27 AM

MR is scared. This is not the first time he has skipped an open debate. He is only good at screaming on a stage about concrete roads and a bygone war. Maithree Sirisena is the main contender and he will not waste his time talking to 2nd level jerks.

As usual all the govt can do is make jokes and cast insults on the opposition. We are still waiting for one intelligent comment from them pertaining to the elections.

Sena Monday, 22 December 2014 08:42 AM
