There has been recent noise to perpetuate Provincial Councils by various politicians – including within the government ranks. What of the PEOPLE’S VIEW?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These useless politicians are as\nclumsy as they are incompetent and treasonous – the whole lot of them. To have\ncome up with this ridiculous proposal to hold Provincial Council elections\nduring a pandemic, at a time of economic stress and during public submissions\nfor a new constitution and public calls for these parasitic things to be\nabolished shows complete disdain for the people. <\/strong>This is a farce and no\ndoubt the likes of MR in particular want to perpetuate Provincial Councils.\nUseless government and useless opposition! The Provincial Councils and the Indo\nLanka Accord (already illegal under international law as per the Vienna\nConventions) have to be abolished in totality.<\/strong> The constitution is such\na mess and so corrupt, it must be dispensed with and replaced with a sound\nconstitution that is designed by patriots (not useless politicians) and\napproved by the People. Our country could have been developed rapidly in the\nlast 10 years and has ended up getting nowhere. In addition to the spokesperson\nin the article in that image, some other useless character who is a “State\nMinister” told the media the other day that we have to consult India. How\nsuch lowly, brainless and spineless people who say such things occupy high\noffice defies logic. These politicians are the bane of this beautiful country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons why Ceylon\/Sri Lanka is not\ndeveloped:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. India created a terrorist group\nthat killed innocent people and wasted 40 years of development<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. India inserted idiotic\nconstitutional clauses into the Sri Lankan constitution making it highly\nbureaucratic and encouraging division and inaction as well as massive corruption\nnever seen anywhere else in human history<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Indo Lanka Accord removes Sri\nLanka\u2019s independence and results in restrictions on foreign investment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Indian bootlicking politicians try\nto preserve the corrupt system in Sri Lanka resulting in no rule of law, no\ncohesion nor any foreign investment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Without a pro business\nenvironment, meritocracy and investment (domestic or foreign), nothing gets\ndone and no progress is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. The bizarre, absurd and\nnonsensical notion by crazy people that India has to be consulted in the\ngovernance, development and organisation of this country even to drink a cup of\ntea despite the fact this nation is not, has never been and never will be part\nof that godforsaken Indian Union!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. A frog in the well mentality that\nIndia is the world, things “cannot be done”, waiting for the coconut\nto fall onto our lap instead of seizing the moment and bickering amongst\nourselves or against helpful countries when India – our actual enemy – is\nrunning riot. This is the equivalent of fiddling whilst Rome is burning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a country which could become a\nfirst world nation within 5-10 years, languishes as an Indian lackey and third\nworld country UNTIL the entire system is torn down and reset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example constitution that could\nmake this country great, which totally abolishes all the Indian installed\nrubbish in the country is one here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is high time we clean the entire Augean stables\nof this country. Without the basics being right, this country with massive\npotential is on a path to nowhere. As per recent articles on Lankaweb, our\nenergy needs and food needs can easily be achieved. Any foreign investor will\ntell you this country can be another Singapore if there is the rule of law and\nwe can easily reacquire our status as a global centre of commerce\/hub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If ANY politician does not advocate abolition of\nthe 13A, Indo Lanka Accord and wasteful bureaucracy in this country – no matter\nwhat party they are from – they are guilty of high treason and should be\nexpelled to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even recently, Indian fishermen plunder our fish\nand get caught by our Navy, and politicians still talk about releasing these\ncriminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us restore our self respect,\ncommon sense and ambitious purpose to get things done, fulfil our national\ndestiny and say “Yes we can”. If not now, when? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it\ntolls for thee oh Ceylonese!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
