How could politicians be in the opposition without portfolios, attendant perks and unaccountable income? Is it not indecent to be so in the current context of politics? CWC is not alone in this racket. Majority of the UNP is no exception. No less than 34 members elected under the UNP symbol are currently in the fold of the government. some of them are hanging on against their will. They are given a Mario Puzo's "God Father's Offer" they cannot refuse.If they refuse, their old sins will come seeking like shadows in the form of criminal charges. The worst that could happen is the case of JVP. They are running with the rabits and hunting with the hounds. The reduced volume of their voices when talking against the administration on behalf of the so called 'innocent public' (vainly hoping to keep the vote bank afloat) and support the misdoings behind the curtain. It is now more than perceptible that the disillusioned senior SLFPiers are bracing themselves to jettison ship given the right moment. Only one thing we are sure of. None of these are in the interest of the general public. On the positive side though, the general public has the gift of God - forget everything in no time at all, ably assisted by the powers that be - flash bigger problems on a daily basis so as to over-shadow the problem of yesterday! - Kingsly Mon, 24 Sep 2007 09:01:27 +0100
