Ha Ha. So many aspirants with huge ego's seem to be coming out of the woodwork! Sarath F, Sarath W, Janaka R. All think they are fit, capable and best to run the country. What a bunch of jokers they are. The likelihood is that their personal interests and agendas will take precedence over all else.

RW is by far the best strategist today. He is well read, educated and experienced to Lead. Needs a good Team...May be Fonseka/SP could be the PM to give discipline, order and respect within.

When you go in front of the mirror only you could see yourself. Do you mean to say that you are the next best leader to rule our nation? No. you must be the defense minister who could identify the looters in the Potuwa and take appropriate action but not as a leader as you dream for.

Come on Sir, you are correct - you are the next President of our country, but promise that you will teach a good lesson to Rajapakshe family and his henchmen.

If you want to become the Leader first you must chase Ranil away, it's not a easy task as until his last breath he wants to hold his chair.

Leader should be respected in the world. You people don't get even acknowledged.

He is having day time dreams... he wants power surely 200% to take revenge with everyone who crossed his path after getting into politics... this not sheer love for the country. He is a vindictive person as we all know.

He is not even aware about the background of the issue. Was there any discussion recently regarding relocating or removing of Amy camps in North?

People at times dream during the day. With lessons learned how a Services person abdicated the seat, can we put forward another. Good to try. Failures are the pillars of success.

It is not uncommon that people of his age to have hallucinations. Actually, we really don't know who he sees in the mirror, may be MR.. that's the nature of hallucinations..

Everything Fonseka said in the interview regarding himself and Ranil is true! Whether it was wise to present your ego in this way is another question! He didn't need it and shouldn't have done it! I have said several times that Fonseka has all the necessary leadership and leadership qualities, not only in the military but also in the political sphere, and for me there is no doubt! He has the assertiveness, determination and perseverance required to bring about the social, political and economic changes in Sri Lanka! He would be the best choice for Sri Lanka and is also highly regarded in other parts of the world!

RW is not a strategist as currently our country is running on borrowed $. He has no new plans or policies for the country but very eloquent in English. Military expenditure has to be reduced and reduce security of the parliamentarians by having elections. We need a person who loves the country and has good strategies

SF's intention is good but he's lacking experience. Politics is far more complex than he thinks

Instead of seeing your self in the mirror to ascertain whether you fit the slot of a VERSATILE LEADER praising ones own tail is not the right thing. Whilst in the field of War you have proved to be a good leader but when battle hardened Generals try to run a country they have been tyrants as history shows. Why do you want to go far " THE DAILY MIRROR WHICH IS MIRROR OF DIFFERENT NEWS WILL BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE A SURVEY TO GIVE A VERDICT WHETHER YOU ARE THE IDEAL PERSON FOR THIS POSITION"

Leadership is ability to command Wednesday, 14 June 2023 05:43 PM

Every person is a captain in calm seas, but all these men who claim leadership now were not in sight, when Gota was about to be removed. In fact they were hiding in the bush, when invited to lead. Leadership is the ability to Command, but not for those who demand.

Dear Field Marshall, an efficient leader to run the country who should be in par with Li Kuan of Singapore, there may be efficient leaders among SriLankans, the media should call CVV of efficient personalities who could be in par with Li Kuwan of Singapore .

Ranil held premiership for 7 years and 10 months since 1993 and he's one of trailblazers to get the country bankrupted !

Not all dreams come true. If SF, Ranawaka and Sajith all have dreams of becoming President, votes will be split between them and the same crowd that won in the past will win again.
