If you carefully watch their political programmes telecasted on TV you might catch some of their plans. Based on what fact do you say their plans are not realistic or outdated?
They didn't have a chance to prove themselves yet. So can't say about their management skills. But most of them are well educated and having the urge to do something for the country. On that basis, they deserve a chance. If not might think about an alternative party in 2030. But not this time. Probably most of the SLs won't cast their vote for a fresh party dude. So better to trust on luck with JVP next time rather than trying new.
I dont think any productive citizen has time to listen to bullshit discussions between stupid politicians. From what I gather they expect to base the economy on government investments ( yeah I know they drivel about attracting foreign investments but their actions are totally in contrast. Eg- eastern Jetty, the port city etc.
Their practicing economic policies are not capitalism friendly.( They even haven't stated whether they will follow capitalism or they still believe in communism for that matter). I have seen AKD saying a load of bullshit about MCC .They are not different to Wimal and Udaya .
To prove someones management skills they need not to run a government. None of the major leaders in JVP (like 99.9% rest of politicians) havent managed even a household with their earnings. They all are career politicians without any idea about management in a practical setting.
Just having a degree in arts doesn't make someone educated. And having an urge doesn't necessarily make results.
And most importantly the purpose of the existence of our country is not to make jobs for politicians . So no one deserves a chance to be elected just because they have an urge but without a solid vision to run the coun try.
Finally if you think majority os SL are going to vote for JVP you are sadly mistaken. They are well past their prime. So rather than betting on an already broken horse its better to bet on a fresh horse.
PS- My personnel experience with JVP members has proven me well beyond doubt they are a bunch that feeds on criticism rather than on action. One of my neighbours is a JVP candidate for the last parliament election ( I voted for him due to our relationship which I regret) .During the initial lockdown he was saying that the lockdown is useless and the country should be opened. And when the government was foolishly not going for lockdown in August he was again blaming the government for the exact opposite.
The opportunistic nature of JVP is evident in the way they use university students unions.
