He must have meant it. Why should he?I also think that to be a politician educational qualification is not a requirement. Uneducated may be better for tooday's political culture for less conscious one is more he is qualified to develop.... himself and people who support him.Politcions are chosen by a majority of voters (probably by a lot mostly who are uneducated). Ability to gain most votes is the only requirement. Once the votes are counted, the one who has most votes is legally appointed. He can be a teacher, scholar, businessman, monk, priest, murderer, robber, rapist, gang leader, ...anybody...any nobody can become even the president if he can get votes. Then he would choose his type of candidates. Sometimes with some leaders special types of candidates are more in demand.... From D.S. Senanayake to Mahinda it had been so.</blockquote>
