But... There is not much time left. 2020 is a tough target. But good start. May be 2025 can be achieved .

First of all Lets buy a media company to carry your message to the public...It is mandatory.

Was thinking about you  SPW  as you were not active here for a while. Good to see you. Btw, buying a media company sounds indeed a good idea . But issues like this ( where money is needed to be thrown around to campaign)  is where people like me will have bottlenecks.

As I said in another thread, RW made a big mistake by not executing those guys on the charge of Treason after the 2015 election.
Now the whole country is in trouble with no good ending in sight.

Who cares all about these. NO ONE!!!!!!!

See the yesterday's, mass uprising.
If you have the majority (as they claim) in the parliament, then no need to mobilise masses.
They have given you the mandate to execute promises and not to cry like a child who lost marbles and run to big Mama for help.
RW has proven that he is not a strategist or Wiseman as previously he was portraited by media and his foolish followers.
It is a just another case of ලුලා නැති වලේ කනයා පන්ඩිතයා only.

Few years ago, a CSE related forum had an election for the presidency. There was a very exciting voting process.

Any of you guys know who was elected as President there?

Good for thought.
Have to agree with Kith.

If the JVP becomes the third force, they will be able to attract a sizable portion of that 30% leaving all other contestants from small parties/independent just a fraction of that 30%.

However much you are qualified morally and professionally in ethical sense and the two candidates from the main parties have no such qualities at all we are left with limited options when it comes to real voting.

They are (a) refrain from voting or (b) cancellation of the vote or (c) vote for you knowing very well that your chances of winning are very remote.

Ethical Trader wrote:Dear SLS,
your question whether I want my list of qualifications to be the future "truth" also depends on the ground situation in the future.

If
(a) our parliamentarians vote for MR as PM when they meet on the 16th of November,
(b) the people in Sri Lanka also approve the current changes (which are questionable) at the next elections,
(c) thereafter the MR government and the crowd reverse all legal proceedings against them and start robbing the country again

?can we expect a future where independent ethical professionals and leaders (sans ill gotten bounties) be able to contest & win Presidential elections without the backing of corrupt main parties The answer is no.

All your good intentions to take the country in the right path and our backing for your independent candidacy will be in wain.

In such a situation I have two options-

(a) abstain from voting or show my displeasure by cancelling my vote with nasty remarks on the ballet paper, or

(b) give a protest vote to a person like you (again to show my displeasure about the corrupt system knowing very well that you are unable to win under this corrupt system.)

Irrespective of my choice the "system" will prosper. Hence, your initial question whether I would vote for you is irrelevant.

That is why I said no at the very start. Its is not because I do not like you or your yeoman service to the society. In my opinion, you are the very best candidate for the Presidency if these corrupt systems do not sit on your way to Presidency.

My way of thinking prompts me to deal with the main corrupt political systems first prior to contesting the elections.

But let me  ask 2 questions  



1) So when is this  change ( letting a suitable candidate come through) going to happen , if we ( PUBLIC)  still want to accept the current system  and let it to continue?  

2)  Will you vote for Kodithuwakku or Pallewatte then  knowing ...  

what Kithsiri revealed on the  history  of some of them and also stating they are backed by Basil Rajapakse.
