"Surprise-counting game" in motion to establish government

By now Mahinda Rajapaksa and Ranil Wickremasingha are engaged in a battle to acquire prime ministership in its entirety saying that the parliamentary majority is in their hands. Both political factions have realised that whatever legal arguments brought forward by talking about the 19th amendment, going to Supreme Courts, resorting to international influence ... the only alternative is to grab or add more elements to their group and in other words their objective is to increase the number to their lot irrespective of public opinion or whatever democracy for that matter

by utilising cunning strategies as such.

Under the above context, an operation has been launched by the Mahinda faction with Basil's leadership while an operation has been launched by the Ranil faction headed by Mangala and Chandrika, political sources report. What Chandrika does is not grab people for money or any other but provide advice to SLFP supporters and subsequently to motivate them to refrain from casting their vote at the time the majority is assessed in parliament. Political sources have said that black money and foreign currency is being transacted in a big way in order to provide contributions for Basil's and Mangala's operations. It to a large extent is akin to the ICC auction held in India. A procedure where players such as Sangakkara and Malinga are auctioned at a higher bet while new players trying to find their name are auctioned for a lesser bet now is in motion in this case, it is understood.

Both parties have tended to lure those who quote 2500 lakhs to a figure of 2600 lakhs just as much as it is in the Cricket auction. Ultimately, what happens is that the player who clandestinely wins the highest bet gets lured irrespective of whether the name is Mumbai or Chennai. In the case of this political auction, more strategical players having spread news in various media engages in the activity that he or she goes here or there and thus boosts their value. It is in this manner that they hold press meetings saying 'No ... no" after dining together the previous night and later goes for the highest deal.

In the meantime, in the case of both Basil - Mangala operations too advice has been given to 'throw an act' in this manner in order to confuse 'counting' between both parties. Accordingly it has been possible to to mess up counting of the other party by remaining silent without giving the impression that they were not involved in such a deal ... even after having come to an agreement on that particular deal as such.

Whatever is said by yelling and signing on a stamp, in the face of lust for money and power according to human weakness ... all this could change in just a split second. Until the vote is taken and until the last moment has turned out to be an interesting 'game' because of nobody can be trusted till the last moment. Whatever it is, this tendency is indeed a dangerous attitude of behaviour when considering the future of the public or democracy as such.
