While we have been pratting around here, Dias has been busy with yet another brilliant interview with Harsha de Silva. You can see the frustration in Harsha here, who holds values that run counter to his own party. I hope that after the elections he will be able to lead a reconfigured Centre Right Political movement. If you listen to the interview, he too believes that the Public have been hoodwinked in to voting for the NPP. But here lies the issue. WHY DID RW AND SAJITH LOSE THE ELECTION (Hint: is wasn’t due to Stupidity) A plutocracy will, by definition, enrich a minority at the expense of the majority, hence the extreme wealth accumulation of the 1% with a proportional loss of buying power of the middle classes. What has happened now is that the Middle Class has got impoverished to such an extent that they have now joined the voting block of the lower income groups. That’s over 50% of the votes, which we will see come to fruition at the upcoming GE. I think we can all agree that we are held within a Plutocracy. The point of contention (in this group) is the impact that a plutocracy has on a county’s growth. Its quite evident the impact plutocracy and corruption have on a system, the only way an economy can grow in that environment is with sheer authoritarianism to hold in check the extreme wealth disparities it causes. China and India being prime examples. Which became the default position RW had to take too. The reason we, the Centre Right, make the contradictory argument that, in a plutocracy, corruption has no bearing, is that we don’t have a Centre Right political party that addresses this issue.
Harsha reminds me of the character Karna in the story of Mahabaratha. In fact, Karna is a character that he should do well to learn from. In Mahabaratha, Karna, despite being the eldest son of Draupadi, was never acknowledged as one of her sons. He was one of the most virtuous characters sometimes surpassing the five Pandavas. But he made one fatal error. Out of loyalty to his friend, Duryodhana (who was cunning enough to help Karna when in need), he chose the wrong team/side to fight for. As a result, he was never able to live up to his potential and ultimately paid the price. Similarly, Harsha is with the wrong team. His mistake is that he sided with a corrupt team despite himself not being corrupt. Ultimately, in this world, you are judged by whom you associate with. Harsha's weakness is that he isn't taking a strong stand for his views and principles. Yes, that path would be significantly difficult, but it is the only option for him. Unfortunately, his decision to stick with SJB (or previously RW) has cost the country a politician who could represent the center-right economic views in the parliament. Sri Lanka is in dire need of a new center-right political party consisting of politicians who do not have any corruption charges and have a long-term vision for the country. All existing parties are utter failures.
Harsha sounds so tired. He is obviously frustrated with his party. Does he have another logical home? He is a descent man. I hope he gets to contribute.

Why don’t you invite him to the NPP? He can help with the finances.
