Sri Lankans and their amnesia never fails to surprise me. This mentality of looking for a savior to come turn things around overnight is what got us here in the first place.
Remember the height of the economic crisis? No electricity, no fuel, no food? That was the lowest of the bar and that would’ve been our reality for the next few years had it not been for Ranil. The road to recovery is slow and doesn’t happen overnight no matter who comes into power. We’re in deep shit thanks to the majority voting for incompetent fools over the last 3 decades.
AKD or Sajith can’t do shit. They’ll run this country further down to the ground and that’ll only give Namal the upper hand to come to power in 2030 and the cycle will continue for another generation.
Ranil needs to stay in power for a few more years at least to make tough decisions and get the economy up and running.

Yeah remember even further back when we had way more than the bare minimum it's crazy I remember ranil in power and the opposition and rajapakshas and bandaranayakes taking turns fucking the people over . you have selective amnesia if you don't think ranils idiotic policies didn't land us here and he stopped paying back loans and now we have an interval in අපාය. We need to change the status quo. Ranil is a fucking idiot and a danger to democracy. Pull up the external debt charts when he took office in 2015 and 2022. More people are in poverty now than ever and more malnutrition. In every metric he has failed except to bait the idiots with selective amnesia with the bare minimum.

I'm assuming the message here is 'Vote AKD', am I correct OP?
I'm not into politics very much as I'd rather do something productive with my own time, but based on the very little research I did, NPP/JVP election manifesto is mostly bullshit talk without any substance.
Where is the concrete economic policy or the economic plan?
The so called science policy and few other progressive policies touted highly by NPP appear to be generated via ChatGPT.
Every single decision by any govt is criticized. I'm yet to hear any concrete solutions on how the problems can be solved in a sustainable manner under a JVP govt. For example, "When we come into power, people will be so buoyed by it an send in more foreign income", or "we will find stolen money and use it to subsidize economy" are not sustainable solutions.
JVP still directly controls extremist factions such as certain trade unions and Anthare. They have been continuously used agint every govt to cause significant disruption economic and otherwise. What is the policy stance towards them in a new NPP Govt?
Read the last 5 interviews with senior member K. D. Lal Kantha. I would vote rather for Prabhakaran than to vote for any govt this assclown is a part of.
This is not to say I am Ranil/Sajith or anyone else fan, but at this point, Sri Lanka is not in a position to do experiments with unknown policies.
