When e country is in trouble, what I would expect from e opposition party/coalition is a well-thought-out proposal/plan to overcome e issue (e crackpot Pres. won't even consider it, that is a different story), not a protest to convince yourself that you could become e President

Like many people who attended/observed e protest pointed out it was more of a anti-Gota/Rajapaksa protest as people find it extremely difficult to put food on e table. Yes, Harsha & Eran are making the effort. But as the official opposition it is SJB's duty to present a solution.

And e so called alternative force(s) (JVP/NPP) & other minor parties/coalitions like TNA, can you all just stop being a whiner for a change & present an actionable intervention(s) that could actually help e people? People are dying for a meaningful change, not e usual "either

this or that" or "lesser evil'. Stop being opportunist politicians for a change & try to become statepersons, and present a comprehensive plan to resolve e issue that would benefit e whole country, not just one particular group, & present that plan to e general public in e

language they understand. That would help build trust. These kind of one-off protests, exploiting people's frustration & anger, in e hope of securing power so you could do e same thing with no accountability is sickening.
