What is, Why?

It could be current president Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa or General Sarath Fonseka. I feel both sides have strong public support.

What we first need to understand is how a politicians mind work and how idiotic the common people are to swallow each lie they tell us.
I like to give you some famous quotes about politicians.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
--Nikita Khrushchev

In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.
--Charles de Gaulle

A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker. -- H.L. Mencken

Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.

My personal favorite:

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. -- Douglas Adams

90% of the politicians efforts goes to their own personal gains, So why the hell we need to give our vote to make a politician rich? When the whole country sacrificed (Some everything) all political leaders try to make it as their own victory to build a public image.

Eventhough this is the reality of Sri Lankan politics we must also embrace our voting right for the sake of democracy in Sri Lanka.
