“I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.”
~Aeschylus
Whatever, Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sri Lanka’s the Leader of the Opposition has not learnt about the intricate planning and strategizing involved in gaining political power with a view to establishing a government led by his Party, the United National Party, he surely has learnt how to sabotage a campaign launched by a so-called joint opposition. And he has learnt it well.

The Island-wide one-day strike organized by the joint-opposition for May 21, 2013, exactly four years after the end of the Northern War, fell flat on its face. The organizers must be schooled in political campaigning before they make their next attempt at organizing mass campaigns against a government that is losing its popularity by the day. The prime-mover of a campaign of this magnitude and scope should have been the leader of the opposition, the leader of the United National Party, which still enjoys more than thirty five percent of the popular voter base and certainly more than ninety percent of the total Opposition vote bloc.
