I think you are not mature and tough enough right now to meddle with top to bottom corrupt srilankan politics .. Other people with vested interests will try to use you to gain what they want . Please be careful in political dealings.

No harm in joining, she should lead the party and form a formidable opposition unlike UNP or JVP.

Joining politics is what her father would have never wanted for her.. but I guess fame and public sympathy is a usual Sri Lankan way of fastracking your way in to parliament. She sure has a lot of sympathy voters. What happened to her father is brutal and tragic at the hands of thugs but what she is getting herself into now will make it seem like drop of water in the ocean of corruption and politics as usual.

Knowing it's a dirty game she still decided to join. Is this the beginning of the end of this young lady?
