No manifesto from Mahinda Rajapaksa. No manifesto from Maithreepala Srisena.
All you see is MoU. Memorandum of Understanding between Maithreepala Srisena and Rani Wickramasinghe.
Manifesto is a MoU between candidates and people. But, Sri Lankan politicians have no concern about the people; they are worried about their own political future.
Had it been United States of America, people care about the political debate between the candidates. But in Sri Lanka, there would be no debate between Mahinda Rajapaksa and Maithreepala Srisena. Perhaps, let them start the process now.
Let there be a debate between the presidential candidates; let there be a debate between MR and MS. Let the world watch the debate.
Thank goodness. Sri Lanka don't have the Westminister parliamentary system. Westminister system guarantees only political entertainment; no action.
Had they adopted Westminister parliamentary system, Mahinda Rajapaksa would have been the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.
Prime Minister of Sri Lanka would not have got the majority votes in the parliament to launch a full scale war against the people of north; so, the three decades status quo, would have continued for two more decades.
Prime Minister of Sri Lanka; no way; could have launched all these economic activities in Sri Lanka.
Executive President only could achieve all these results. Westminister system is only for political entertainment.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn't achieve any of his goals in the Westminister system. It has been dragging Narendra Modi backwards.
The very first thing is, Westminister system does not guarantee stability; it causes more chaos and confusion.
Had Narendra Modi been the Executive President of India, without much effort, Narendra Modi could have taken the country forward.
Now, Narendra Modi spends more time in worrying about stability of the central and state governments; Modi now asks for absolute majority from the people.

In Sri Lanka, right now, no leader talks about the issues of people and they have no plan of action to address people issues.
The main focus is all about MoU between MS & RW
It's time, they should think about people. They should address about people issues in their manifesto.
For example, they could publish manifesto like:
- bringing back black money from foreign bank accounts
- action against 2G corruption
- IIT and IIM for all provinces
- Free laptop for all students
- Free meals at schools
- Holidays on every Full moon and every Amavasai too
- making Sri Lanka as a Developed nation by 3050
- other creative, innovative policy and promises
It's time; political leaders; better talk about the people.
If people don't suffer, then they would not change the government.
People are also just like you; self-centered.
People would come to the street, if they suffer.
People won't come to the street, for your future.
So, just like MoU between various partners, you need to publish a MoU for the people.
By voting to you, what do people gain?
It is a business. You need to buy their vote.
You need to give them something; then they would give you the vote.
That something could be $5 per vote as a short term gain;
or better future as a long term policy.
You're running out of time.
So, it is time, you need to look beyond your political friends to the people of Sri Lanka.
