  • Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Volume 2
    Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Edited by Asanga Welikala Volume 2 18 Failure of Quasi-Gaullist Presidentialism in Sri Lanka Suri Ratnapala Constitutional Choices Sri Lanka’s Constitution combines a presidential system selectively borrowed from the Gaullist Constitution of France with a system of proportional representation in Parliament. The scheme of proportional representation replaced the ‘first past the post’ elections of the independence constitution and of the first republican constitution of 1972. It is strongly favoured by minority parties and several minor parties that owe their very existence to proportional representation. The elective executive presidency, at least initially, enjoyed substantial minority support as the president is directly elected by a national electorate, making it hard for a candidate to win without minority support. (Sri Lanka’s ethnic minorities constitute about 25 per cent of the population.) However, there is a growing national consensus that the quasi-Gaullist experiment has failed. All major political parties have called for its replacement while in opposition although in government, they are invariably seduced to silence by the fruits of office. Assuming that there is political will and ability to change the system, what alternative model should the nation embrace? Constitutions of nations in the modern era tend fall into four categories. 1.! Various forms of authoritarian government. These include absolute monarchies (emirates and sultanates of the Islamic world), personal dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies (Iran) and single party rule (remaining real or nominal communist states). 2.! Parliamentary government based on the Westminster system with a largely ceremonial constitutional monarch or president. Most Western European countries, India, Japan, Israel and many former British colonies have this model with local variations.

  • Presidential Election 2010 Common Opposition Candidate Incarcerated
    Presidential Election 2010 Common Opposition Candidate incarcerated and persecuted ! Would not his siege and illegal prevention by him of supervision of the ballots counting alone have vitiated / nullified the entire Election ? Meeting in the night of the day before the Presidential Election ! In such circumstances, suddenly on the very eve of the Presidential Election on 26th January 2010 i.e. on 25th January 2010, Ravi Karunanayake UNP M.P., intimated to me that Ranil Wickremesinghe, Leader of the UNP, was anxious to have a Meeting that evening at 6.30 p.m., with the common opposition candidate, retired General Sarath Fonseka, to explain to him the foregoing interim amendments to be effected to the Constitution vis-à-vis the sharing of power by and between the Executive President, Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers. For such purpose, I was requested by Ravi Karunanayake UNP M.P., to bring the former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva, P.C., and come with the requisite documents for a Meeting on that day, 25th January 2010, at 6.30 p.m., to the Office at Reid Avenue, Colombo 7, from where the common opposition candidate, retired General Sarath Fonseka had been operating his Presidential Election campaign. I pointed out to Ravi Karunanayake UNP M.P., that it would be futile to discuss the foregoing at the eleventh hour, as it were, since the Presidential Election campaign of the common opposition candidate, retired General Sarath Fonseka had been conducted by all parties concerned on the premise of mutual trust and confidence, and that such discussion could result in the loss of such mutual trust and confidence.

Formed in 1996 in the firm belief that the vital contribution of civil society to the public policy debate is in need of strengthening, CPA is committed to programmes of research and advocacy through which public policy is critiqued, and alternatives identified and disseminated. Social Indicator (SI) is the survey research unit of the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) and was established in September 1999, filling a longstanding vacuum for a permanent, professional, and independent polling facility in Sri Lanka on social and political issues. Driven by the strong belief that polling is an instrument that empowers democracy, SI has been conducting polls on a large range of socio-economic and political issues since its inception.

After the military victory by the Sri Lankan army over the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in May 2009, Norway no longer had a role to play. This evaluation of Norwegian peace efforts in Sri Lanka was commissioned mainly for the purpose of informing international peace efforts. The evaluation team was asked to analyze Norway’s role as a peace facilitator in Sri Lanka 1997 – 2009, in light of the knowledge and opportunities available at the time.
