For example take the support of political parties. If you take a family, if the father supports one party then the son, the grandson, the great grandson etc will automatically support the same party only for the reason that the father, grandfather etc etc supported it. Rarely do people support a party or individual because of their policies. Just because a family voted for the UNP for the past 50 years it doesn't mean that they should just continue to do so blindly. In Sri Lanka the people are politically naive. We are easily misled by political rogues. Take another example, the SLFP during the 2001 election the people screamed for their blood. They were that unpopular. Then in 2004 again the very same party this time with the former Sinhalese terrorists the JVP at their side were elected the power by the very same people who cursed them earlier!</p></blockquote><p></p>
