As far as I know there were well over 150 people taken off the electoral lists in Colombo. I understand this has happened elsewhere as well though I haven't bothered to check. These are people who have voted in the same area for well over twenty, maybe even thirty years and yes they are most likely to vote UNP. Free and fair election, my ass - someone has screwed our system.I think it completeley unacceptable that out private media haven't picked up on it at all in spite of being informed repeatedly. Scaredy, scaredy cats....I say we get out on the streets and march. If the JVP can rabble rouse so can we, dammit. Get out there and tell the reds to buzz of back to whereverthey'refrom. We cannot have our civic rights taken away in this manner. It's wrong. Just so wrong.

well unp has to decide how far they want to go with this sort of thing. if they want they can certainly create lot of trouble. buffalo has only 28600(.29%) majority after all even with ne boycott.

Doesn't this remind you of what the Republicans did in the US to give George W his first term?Disenfrnachisement, and then counting on the other side to not kick a fuss about it and take the defeat lying down.It's a tried and tested methid. It worked again.
