While we could appreciate all what this writer says the root cause of this diminished state of Democracy has been brought about by a presidential Constitution introduced in 1978 by the almighty JRJ of the UNP whose nephew is the present opposition leader. Today the opposition has become so ineffective that the Executive President is never challenged because the opposition leaders very position is protected by the Executive President. How can a opposition leader with such a record of losses remain as opposition leader., and also very recently made sure that he could remain as its leader for a term of six years unchallenged. its like the Pot calling the Kettle Black. A party that does not practice democracy can't preach it . The best thing to to come to a Consensus to do away with this Presidential System before the next Election.

Fully agree. The rot was started by JRJ and nobody bothered to change it. The rot has now become ultra-rot thanks to 18th amendment and we all suffer.

Not very productive talking about the past if you dont learn anything from it and try to rectify the future....typical Sri Lankans always keep complaining about the past injustices...GROW UP !! past is the past...how much you harp and finger point its not going to make the future right...

When JRJ introduced the Executive Presidency, the legislature comprised of Educated Statesman with good family back grounds, who love the Country. At the time he never thought for a moment what if a power crazy Lunatic creeps into that position, surrounded by uneducated creeps. For this mistake only the entire Nation is suffering now. We are a internationally condemned Nation now. God save our former democratic Sri Lanka.
