The Rural Population Told the Government: This Is Not Greece, This Is an Island in the Indian Ocean
According to Lenin, all parties should be bolshinstvo (большинство), which translates to "majority" in Russian. Not the privileged urban minority.
First and foremost, there is an increase in individual representation in municipal elections. whereby specific electors may be won as a result of particular cases. which cannot be considered a general trend. Several-seat winning parties will not even advance to the general election. However, it is evident from the results that there is a general trend. Generally speaking, the popularity of governments is clearly dropping. The incredibly low voter turnout rate alone demonstrates that the public has lost interest in elections. indicating a bad sign for the government. Agent material conditions are extremely volatile in deregulated markets like Sri Lanka, which is why agents' political reactions are also volatile. Second, rather than being a government that was progressively constructed from the ground up, the current administration was formed on the spur of the moment. Therefore, it is evident from this election that they were unable to secure a majority. The majority of their policies are more PR-driven than they are truly ingrained in the nation's foundation. Particularly the population's rural portion. Because their PR still works in urban areas, the government is still able to secure a sizable majority vote there. However, since their policies were never aimed at the rural population, it is evident that there is a declining trend in rural areas. Agricultural reforms and advancements are the primary focus of rural population policies. Even so, the government has developed strong ties with nations that support agricultural development, such as China and Vietnam. The usual NPP policy line is not aligned with what those nations have to teach us. The primary cause is NPP is an urban movement that grew out of control as a result of the nation's economic crisis. Although the government is still in its infancy and cannot implement any policies just yet, it is evident that they lack a policy recipe for the rural populace. The majority of their policies presume that people in Sri Lanka are not from Asia but rather from Greece or another European nation. Left-leaning commentators continue to compare the industrialised European nation of Greece to the unindustrialised Asian nation of Sri Lanka. It appears that the governments' intellectual and ideological foundations still originate in urban areas. These agents have some connections to different donor funding sources, including NGOs. Additionally, their material interests differ greatly from those of the rural populace, and in some instances, they are in opposition to those of the average citizenry.
The majority of nations that adopted neoliberal policies typically have highly concentrated capital formation in their urban areas. The democratic safeguarding mechanism is distorted by the high degree of capital concentration in urban areas. where the majority of rural sentiments are subordinated to urban sentiments. Sri Lanka serves as a prime illustration of how intellectual interventions that are centred in Colombo fail to take into account the needs of the majority rural population. The rural majority will punish the current government and any parties that refuse to acknowledge this fact. According to Lenin, all parties should be bolshinstvo (большинство), which translates to "majority" in Russian. Not the privileged urban minority.
