No one has so far come out to say why they proposed the name of  Maithripala Sirisena as candidate. These details remain very much secret from  the public. Moreover, if we are to believe Colombo’s anti-MR chants and the  English social media and conclude that Mahinda Rajapakse is unsuited to lead,  UNP could have easily contested as a single party and fielded a UNP candidate to  win the elections. Why was there any need to hire someone for a 100 day  role?   If Ranil was not the choice it is so because of his own failures,  and it is on that ground that he is rejected by the voters. Thus, the selection  of Maithripala as Presidential candidate is based on the reality that Ranil  Wickremasinghe can only command urban votes where non-Buddhists dominate. It is  to fill the void and to either break or take the Buddhist votes that Maithripala  has been brought into the picture. If this argument is to be believed coupled  with the slogan of pluralism that Wickremasinghe preaches and promotes,  Maithripala should be considered no hero of the Buddhists for he would by  complicity help push the Buddhists further into oblivion and gradually remove  their power.    While Mahinda Rajapakse is judged on accusations of corruptions by  a select few surrounding him, the Coalition is being judged from multiple fronts  all of which lead to the fear that the country would fall into neo-colonial  hands or be earmarked for division. If Maithripala is a proxy of Ranil and Ranil  is a proxy of Western Christian nations this reality is more than possible and  the manner that Ranil led the UNF in 2002 is prime example of what to expect.  Link this to the manner CBK led throughout her 12 year rule and what is in store  for Sri Lanka rings alarm bells. The allegation of Ranil being a Western proxy  is proven by Ranil Wickremasinghe’s membership in the IDU – International  Democratic Union – made up of Christian political parties. It is alleged that  the UNF Government formed in 2001 comprised 60% Christians and visas were  granted to Evangelists to spread their faith while Buddhists were given  step-motherly treatment. <a href="http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items06/061006-4.html" target="_blank">http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items06/061006-4.html</a></blockquote>
