Collateral damages of a breakdown of the coalition unthinkable
“I’ll be your mess, you be mine.
That was the deal that we had signed”
~ Gayle Forman
- Some UNP parliamentarians to go into a totally different gear and attack the President openly
- Bond scam report: President chose to express some opinion without referring such opinion to PM
- Collateral damages the Govt. would have to tackle after polls loom large
- Both the President, PM are being tested, not by voters; but more so by the circumstances

Election platforms can turn men into super heroes; they can turn politicians into inspiring leaders; they can drive audiences into enraged mobs; they can also turn themselves into caricatures of comical proportions, from which empty rhetoric might resonate for a short time. Some of the rhetoric, like that of Martin Luther King Jr., John Kennedy, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Nelson Mandela in our recent memory and the Ciceros and Mark Anthonies of the ancient world, will echo for ages to come. But the results of those same elections will eventually turn these modalities into more realistic and rational outcomes. These outcomes will eventually tell the wise from the morons; the effective from the lazy and the great from the mediocre. These outcome may have a direct impact on the subject people whom the decision makers are supposed to preside over.
