Unfortunately 95% of the population in
Sri Lanka are NOT aware of the LATEST FRENCH REVOLUTION, in order to take a cue from
that experience and recreate a similar situation in Sri Lanka, though
most people I know subscribe to the same desires, that the French in these last
50 days subscribed to! Change is needed but please not the same
faces anymore!
The reason they are unaware has its
roots in our education system, of being fed information from an agenda set by a
few, with NO DESIRE to educate, but with EVERY DESIRE TO ENSLAVE. If these
facts emanating from France are instilled into our people, their hopes for a
brighter future would be raised. I fear we do not have patriots at the top in
Sri Lanka who wish to offer a better alternative to the current political
culture in Sri Lanka.
SO HOW CAN WE SAY? “YES WE
CAN AND MUST!” CHANGE!
So what is this revolution I refer to?
Firstly, the Youngest French President since Napoleon, was elected. I don’t know
how freely Napoleon was elected and if Universal Franchise was available then.
The point is not that he was young and had NO prior political experience,
except as a Minister in the Hollande Government, but that his movement is LESS
THAN ONE YEAR OLD, and its goals went against the grain of French expectations
of shorter hours, earlier retirement, better pensions schemes, and more
holidays!
In short the first issue this movement
had on its agenda was to reduce the PUBLIC SECTOR BY AT LEAST 120,000 people!
The French People actually VOTED FOR THAT MANIFESTO, and less about law and order
despite the terrorist incidents that have scarred France lately, as they realized that in order to IMPROVE
their quality of life, they MUST make sacrifices they cannot afford, and NOT
insist on promises, that merely bankrupt the Country.
Let me remind my readers then that this
new President’s NEW PARTY swept the board at the National Assembly,
(Parliamentary) Elections held this Sunday, 18th June 2017 and
obtained an overwhelming majority to GOVERN, something the relinquishing socialist
government EVEN did not have.
Read the link carefully to obtain all
the details of how the French voted, despite the lower percentage vote, due to
voter fatigue, and does not change the facts.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/19/french-election-results-new-parliament-looks-macrons-new-party/
In short a new set of people, many who have never been in politics, (the
retired bullfighter just lost in her constituency) are female members of parliament.
Factually, 223 out of 557.
Even more astounding is that Macron’s
LREM movement had 47% females elected to Parliament of the 350 members that won
on Sunday. This is a TECTONIC SHIFT in World Politics and NOT just French
politics, firstly ALL in Sri Lanka must be made aware of this, and only then
will they sincerely believe it is possible in Sri Lanka.
If ever the time is ripe it is NOW.
I know some donkeys in power are currently
having discussions to form a third force! However when donkeys who are part of
the first and second force are quietly conniving to create a credible third
force to enhance their PERSONAL AGENDA, to suit their long term needs and NOT
that of the Country, IT WILL FAIL before it can even begin, an asinine way to
start.
They are playing with the same pack of
cards, and we just have to NOT ONLY change the pack of cards, we just cannot
play cards AT ALL, as it is more than that we need to achieve, a completely
changed culture of thinking that the people subscribe to, but which there is
currently NO anchor to latch on to form a movement such as in France from which
to leap forward.
LEAP FORWARD IT WILL, and as France has
shown it does not even take ONE year for it to change the political landscape.
I am now looking for Country First
people to create the nucleus of the movement which should NOT put ONE person at
the helm to identify with as HUMANS ARE SIMPLY FLAWED by birth and association.
Of course you might say, Macron was the catalyst in France to create the
movement and YOU MUST have a credible leader to lead this movement as otherwise
especially in the Sri Lankan context governing or policy will NOT alone be sufficient
to create change.
I believe that a movement with Policy at
its APEX is sufficient to accept, and as it is open to all comers, meaning
today’s voters sullied by color for the party they have voted for are ALL
WELCOME. It is the youth who must eventually take leadership and run, but unlike
the likes of Macron in France, we have NO educated YOUTH with leadership
quality, who understand the dynamics of plurality at present and will require
EDUCATION within the movement to give them the tools to achieve the desired
objectives that they see more than the older people like us, as being NECESSARY
for Change!
Of course we must begin somewhere and Environment
would rightly figure at the APEX, with the rights to drink clean water, eat
wholesome food, and breathe clean air as the basics to human life which we don’t
have today.
The main policy issues to achieve this
would then be the removal of all those who currently ruled over us. They have only
enriched themselves at the expense of others. It will change the culture of the
public service that has so completely corrupted the fabric of our society, so
as to enslave our people beginning with the rural villager who is terrorized by
tin-pot public officials. They lord over them as rulers, NOT as the SERVANTS of
the PUBLIC they are SWORN TO SERVE. Ironic isn’t it how the roles have changed?
We are merely seeking a role reversal back to what we had, and what we deserve
from this SERVICE.
When these simple concepts are
understood, and that is the key, ensuring we use social media, to simply convey
that which is obvious, our natural following will be the users of social media,
namely our youth to whom these diabolical predictions of disaster are VERY
REAL.
TO THEM, these proposals are no-brainers, and are simply the least expected of a new force to change the
current system. I can assure you that the currently conniving dreamers of the
new force have simply LOST THE PLOT and will NOT make any headway as they are
simply dreaming about what they can do.
To those who are simply trying to upset
the existing order of play by creating a new force that MERELY shifts the
balance of power to those HUNGRY FOR POWER, I appeal to you to desist, as you
are NO MORE DESIROUS to us than the present CABAL. So you may as well save your
dreams for something more productive and shift your energies to something that
will actually help Sri Lanka not yourselves, often at the expense even of your
own enrichment.
You will be surprised how in the end, it
is all of us who will benefit including you, as you will NOT be eliminated like
the desire of the JVP revolutions of the past, but will be inclusive and important contributors
to the overall goal that is set by the policies that will see Sri Lanka through
to at least 2075 if not 2100. Surely it must be clear to you that your plan
will not lengthen the sustainability of this Country into the next century at
ALL and it is merely going to sustain you in clover till your demise only and
the Country’s demise if earlier!
This long-term survival plan ensures at
least that the people who live in this Country, especially those who are BORN
today and henceforth have a future in a livable space, throughout their lives,
something you do not support in your plans that are extremely short-termist,
not revolutionary, and unlikely to bear wholesome fruit that can carry a nation
with certainty.
I am not saying that the future of
France is assured, at least they have a plan that is different and has a better
chance of survival. Similarly with what we propose we look with optimism to
change minds first, before hearts have their say.
Yes, there is a third force that will rise up. You don't have to fear it, especially if you are part of the silent majority who believe that this Paradise has been destroyed by our rulers, Have faith that a policy based force will sweep through this land and blow our prejudices to Kingdom Come!
To those who dream that they can change the center of power, by merely changing the pack, just dream on!
