With the Tamil Tigers defeated in Sri Lanka, the Tamil vote might now decide the election

[ConsAreLiars]

One option is the current president who ordered the bloody and brutal campaign that killed off what had become a very vicious and oppressive ruling clique within the NE of Sri Lanka and killed and refugee'd and interned a huge number of civilians. The other main contender is the General who designed and carried out that campaign.

AJE reporting is that they will vote against the President and for the General as a way of saying things, for them, life is even worse now and thus expressing their view that:

"The time for change has come!"

Seems that saying that, voting that, is rather different from getting that.
