Why do we vote to die in starvation, give license to ruin country's economy,allow corruption and terrorism, lead to dictatorship as a gratitude for M.R.We are not foolish.

Day of the judgment will be on 26th. We voters will give it in favor of SF to take immediate action against MR.

What about the communal harmony that exists under Mahinda Rajapakse. Why look for something from SF when it already exists under Mahinda.

It looks like Aithurus M. Illias is another LTTE / TNA link.

Possibly, the reality dawned on him after hearing what the Commissioner of Elelctions had to say of the candidates other than the two main ones in the presidential fray and thought of salvaging whatever he could in the circumstances!
