  • The polls have closed in Sri Lanka in the country's presidential election.
    It is the first election since mass protests in 2022 unseated the leader which were sparked by the country's worst-ever economic crisis.
    Saturday's vote is widely regarded as a referendum on economic reforms meant to put the country on the road to recovery.
    But many are still struggling to make ends meet because of tax hikes, and cuts to subsidies and welfare.

      The world was much simpler when us in Europe had empires and places like sri Lanka and India become a lot better without the b.s. in the world today.
      Let's bring back the British empire and the empires of Europe go back 100 years when a time was much simpler for all of us 😂. Starting with America make the world great again bring back the British empire and the empires of Europe.

      ​@@richardkent2014do not talk shit. Sri Lanka was better during colonial era than now but even better earlier. Yeah.. There was not technology and industrialization but life's quality was higher. Imperialists gave railwayas, banks, communication, tea for their development. We later turned them for our development.Britain colonialists robbed 4.5 trillion dollars from india. There caused a famine in india. Britain is good as a friend. Bad as an empire towards us
