"The country has gone to dogs". we respect susi and other sports starts for there achievements in sports for our country. but politics is a total different ball game, you need to be educated, should have a academic or professional qualification to apply plans and stratergys take Sri Lanka to the next level.
there are candidates contesting for the electing those who are not passed in atleast the O/L
