To get into power the SLMC TNA and minor parties were all willing to run as a coalition. Now they see that the JVP is no threat and the so called JO is full of the corrupt who people will not vote for either so these minor parties will be running individual to gain more parlimentry seats.

Minority parties are at a disadvantage in a winner-takes-all electoral systems. If they are going to remove or reduce proportional representation then federalism is a must.

It is time all political parties and the voters think in terms of national policy and not religion, race or clan. This new electoral system is not new to Sri Lanka. The winner has to be first past the post.

what minority benefit does parties like SLMC and political wheeler dealers serve? Proportional representation is good but nothing is good for our politicians who work only for their self interest and do nothing worthy for our people or country.
