Future doesn't look good

The voters of Sri Lanka have finished voting. The initial results do not look good. People seem to have voted for irrational, unrealistic promises over common sense and religion over solid clear policy. The JVP/SLFP alliance has promised jobs (the only way I think that is possible is to put more people in to government establishments that already have a surplus of workers) and various concessions and subsidies to farmers, etc. (The only way that I could see anybody doing that is printing more money which would devalue the Rupee and make the prices of everything go up.) We have to see how the SLFP/JVP is going to fulfill their promises and we will have to wait to see how they handle the LTTE. We have seen how the government under President Kumaranathunga handled the war and the economy between 1994 and 2000. They sold half the government assets (SLT, Sri Lankan Air Lines, etc.) and they lost even the Elephant Pass army camp during that time. Let's see how her new partners, the JVP could help her do any better. We've seen how JVP carried out military operations in 1971 and 1989 haven't we. Another point is that people seem to have voted for JHU which still doesn't seem to have any national policy or plan. They seem to have played every card they had. Religion, race, etc but hopefully they don't seem to be getting the magic number of 10 seats in the parliament. I hope we wouldn't slip into the slippery slope of racism and religionism or what ever. We've seen what could happen when the majority of a country become racist. We know what happened to Germany in the 30's and 40's and Yugoslavia and Ruwanda. Let's hope we wouldn't end up with the same miserable fate.
