As for me, therefore I have no\nfaith or trust in any of the existing political parties as none of them have a\nclear cut national policy, other than their own enrichment. They all are only\nparasitic bunches of self-centered power crazy set of men and women who have no\nconcern for the country or the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Political parties in Sri Lanka can be\nclassified in to two broad categories, national and communal. SLFP and UNP are\nthe two National parties worthy of mentioning, though the UNP had been anti-\nSinhala and anti- Buddhist trough out. Although JVP is pretending to be one, in\nmy opinion it will never emerge as a National party in the foreseeable future\nfor three reasons. Firstly it does not have any jatikatvayak as it is based on\nan imported concept of class struggle based on hatred and jealousy.&nbsp; Secondly it rejects the very foundation of\nthe Sinhala Buddhist society. Thirdly it also rejects local values and its\nmembers live in a dream world of their own completely divorced from the native\nsocial milieu. The only common thing these three parties share is they are not\ncommunal.&nbsp; One can easily forget LSSP,\nCP, NLSSP and Hela Urumaya as they are, though they are registered as Parties\nwith the Election Commissioner; they are only three or two wheelers that have\nno chance of forming a government at any time. In fact they are already dead\nentities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the rest, whether they are in the North,\u00a0 East,\u00a0 in the hill country or in Colombo, are either Tamil or Muslim communal parties that do not accept the historical reality of this nation that it was born as a Sinhala Buddhist nation in the 6th century BC and had been so for the past 2600 years. They all agitate for separate States and separate identities either within a Federal or a Quasi- Federal system looking for a distant dream of acquiring the whole Island as either EELAM by Tamils or Khalisthan by Muslims. Today there are at least 15 Tamil and 5 Muslim Parties in this country. They are a bunch extremist separatist ultra- communal parties alternately joining the national party that agrees to give their maximum demands exploiting the weaknesses of the major parties. Tamils and Muslims unlike the foolish Sinhalese behave as diehard communal groups and they look after only their own community even if they work as Ministers in any Government. It was the folly of the constitution makers in 1948 and all subsequent Governments to have failed to prohibit these Communal parties that have put the country in this unfortunate predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the full article<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/2018\/05\/18\/the-need-for-a-new-patriotic-political-movement-to-rescue-this-country-sinhala-nation-and-the-buddha-sasana-from-the-imminent-disastrous-end-to-which-this-government-is-taking-a-final-call-to-all-2\/\">https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/2018\/05\/18\/the-need-for-a-new-patriotic-political-movement-to-rescue-this-country-sinhala-nation-and-the-buddha-sasana-from-the-imminent-disastrous-end-to-which-this-government-is-taking-a-final-call-to-all-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Sudath Gunasekara\u00a0 A Final call to all Patriots.
