Lighter Side of our Acrimonious Politics<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The two most prominent opposition parties in Sri Lanka are the SJB (Sajith Premadasa\u2019s) and the NPP\/JVP crossbreed. These two factions are entertaining the public with the wrath and revulsion they keep escalating between them. I would say that is the light side of our horrible opposition politics. Oh My God! I will die without this stuff.Give us more, please. Scotch isn\u2019t any better!<\/p>\n

Sajith, at a recent meeting screamed: \u201cIf the JVP comes, private houses will be taken over, private boutiques and shops and big companies will be nationalised\u2026\u201d Anura Kumara Dissanayake has a higher level of rhetoric as he brings in a level of argumentation. AKD says, \u201cSajith doesn\u2019t understand anything with depth..he drives buses, inspects fields ruined by Gota\u2019s fertilizer policy and even visits bakeries\u201d. AKD has a lot of money as Gamunu – the bus company man – says JVP hires the most number of buses. Good to be a poor man\u2019s party like that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Selling Our Troubles<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

What the two sets of Opposition conveniently forget is that they are engaged in selling the ordinary man\u2019s troubles in the worst of our times and attempting to provoke the latter about their plight. \u201cWe have no proper education..no schools\u2026 no toilets\u2026 taxes are so high\u2026no medicines in hospitals our school kids are starving \u2026Now Wickremesinghe says no money for local government elections\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

This game of selling troubles indicates a cultivated political alzheimers.<\/p>\n

The context these days are the elections. The aim is to bring down the mass confidence level of this government. The hope is that this initial push will let that confidence slide down further until the government breaks from within or breaks at the forthcoming General Elections and Presidential Elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The population of voters numbering two-thirds brought clueless Gota in. The fairy tale\u00a0 <\/span>about the snake, spread by the Kelaniya priest rounded up the devout folk Buddhists.This is our population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two opposition segment are targetting their rhetoric and criticism to the Lowest Common Denominator. The LCD of 7 and 5 is only 35 and not anything higher. <\/b>However, that proportion would be strong enough to fill the base of the two parties and maintain meeting attendance. The media, unfortunately, is within the LCD and they can do the rest of the dirty work for favours granted later.<\/p>\n

That is Sri Lankan politics in action.<\/p>\n

Yes, we Know That<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you AKD and thank you Sajith for listing the nation\u2019s troubles. The nation is poor and starvation is spreading. Young people are struggling without jobs; many are taking to \u201cice\u201d. Have you mentioned the ice and the joblessness. AKD was observed in video saying the other day that \u201clarge numbers\u201d of professionals are leaving for overseas to get jobs. I wouldn\u2019t regret the GMOA going if we can get some doctors from India or Suriname. This crowd of medical personnel\u00a0 <\/span>were once the pride of our nation. They used to brush up their knowledge and techniques periodically in order to update with growing new knowledge. Now, they must pay attention to politics and strikes.<\/p>\n

Yes, we know all these Sajith\/AKD. Thanks. On the other hand, you don\u2019t see or refuse to see that these troubles, and more to come, are the output of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

We are officially declared as bankrupt and international bodies are shy about helping us\u00a0 <\/span>by passing a few dollars. AKD said the other day at a meeting that Bangladesh gvae us 200 million US dollars and are now demanding the money back. Yes, AKD. Sri Lanka is bankrupt. Can a government set up by you find a solution? That\u2019s the question.<\/p>\n

SJB and NPP\/JVP just scream about the known and the felt; but they give no alternative options\u00a0 <\/span>as to how they would solve the debt problem, which is at the bottom. This is the opposition\u2019s fault line.<\/p>\n

The Two \u201cPlans\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Opposition cannot tackle the national economic crisis and they have not come up with anything that can be regarded as \u201cplans\u201d. They keep provoking a foolish people. Public ignorance is their feed. They hold mass protest meetings with the sole purpose of bringing down the government and grabbing power. Grabbing power is fair as that is democracy. On the other hand, dragging people in buses for meetings-those days the forte of the UNP- and brainwashing the latter with no option to flag, is cheating; exploiting; treating poor folk as cattle; harking back to an old and worn out past political process.<\/p>\n

After sustained requests made to them by intelligent people these two parties have thrown up two alleged plans. The NPP\u2019s one, captioned \u201cRapid Recovery\u201d came out about two years ago. Rapid Recovery will block our recovery and take the nation into a Venezuellian – like politco-economic territory. Rapid Recovery is wrong from the beginning. It says that Sri Lanka went down because of the open competitive market economy <\/b>introduced by former president JR Jayewardene. It is the other way about. JR ushered in an economic revolution by liberalising exchange and trading and creating investment opportunities. The great Mahaweli Scheme JR built is the crown of his jewellery. Business entrepreneurs grew in large numbers.<\/p>\n

In place of JR\u2019s \u201ccrime\u201d, JJB \u2019s Rapid Recovery\u00a0 <\/span>says it will replace the open competitive democratic economy with what Sunil Handunneththi calls \u201cProduction Economy.\u201d I have asked Handun what he means by that but he hasn\u2019t told me. If Handun ever studied economics even in school he would have to go back to his notes. How on earth can you have a \u2018production economy\u2019 leaving the market out of the picture? The whole world is moving to an open global economy. Does the JVP\/NPP know about that?<\/p>\n

Here lies the JJB crisis; They do not understand economics. And they want to beat Ranil Wickremesinghe at his strongest point.<\/p>\n

SJB \u201cPlan\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Captioned \u201cThe Blue Print,\u201d the SJB plan was issued only two weeks ago. Apparently, there had been a clash between Dr Harsha De Silva and Eran Wickremaratne as to which of them should author that. Eran was given the task. But look at it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This SJB plan does not say bad words like the NPP\u2019s Rapid recovery but it is a watered down statement of intentions and general principles. Every one of the 11 points are already part of the government\u2019s (and UNP\u2019s) economic planning model. There is nothing new offered.<\/p>\n

Eran\u2019s plan is also superficial. For instance, he is content with mere legislative reform to arrest corruption. Most of the reforms suggested are already in the law books or mooted to enter the law books.<\/p>\n

Eran refers to the fact that Sri Lanka is at the logistical hub of the South Asia. It had been Ranil Wickremesinghe who had repeatedly mentioned this concept. Eran should have at least had the ability to list some of the acts by which he proposed to develp the hub idea. He could have borrowed that,too, from Ranil.<\/p>\n

Eran makes no mention of\u00a0 <\/span>the ongoing efforts at negotiating with the IMF. This is the most immediate concern today. Sajith has reportedly stated he is going to negotiate\u00a0 <\/span>with IMF \u201clike a lion.\u201d The Blue Print should have given its readers a glimpse of that lion approach.<\/p>\n

Anarchism<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Saying nothing at all about what they are going to do about the crisis and troubles of the people under these specially arduous times, the Opposition is merely screaming desperately to bring down the government. They are conveniently glossing over the central crisis that has caused these troubles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leftism constitutes one of the root causes of the economic plight that Sri Lanka has eventually ended up with today. They worked on Sirimavo Bandaranaike to take over companies well run by private entrepreneurs and to break up our world renown tea industry etc. These Leftists redefined capitalism as a dirty word and built trade unions to try and subvert \u201ccapitalistic companies.\u201d They wouldn\u2019t mind making money themselves. That was a politics of hate. The JVP ran and runs a hate campaign by convincing ignorant people that they are poor because the rich are rich.<\/b><\/p>\n

Attempting to bring down the establishment with no alternative political insight or option is plain anarchism. The IUSF run by convenor Wasantha Mudalige is representative of crude anarchism. The other day, Wasantha – a perennial Uni student for nine long years who refuses to complete his studies and join the employment market – crashed into the Ministry of Education along with 27 other students. They did not have the courtesy to seek permission from reception. They have announced an intention to just bring down the government. The Opposition party segments referred to, exhibit similar styles and intentions at a political party level. The outcomes in behaviour are no different.<\/p>\n

Classical anarchism contains a serious philosophical insight namely that society could be managed without the state. On the other hand, the anarchism of these assorted groups is just to bring down the state apparatus. And do what? Ask them.<\/b><\/p>\n
