Very little concern for Business or Citizens

The take or leave it attitude of the government will continue to prevail and will not change until civil society and the business community can translate their call into action plans and assert themselves which can then impact the government and the opposition in some form which would then force them to view their demands constructively. The great Aristotle once observed that no state would be well administered unless and until civil society holds sway. This is very true in Sri Lanka and in many developing countries. People elect leaders for five to six years, watch in silence while they do what they desire for that period, and then attempt to throw them out in disgust and hope for better options at election times. This attitude of electing a dictatorship for six years is not the essence of democracy.
