Two State solution does not hold

Two State proposals advocated by the Conservative Party of UK over our national crisis do not hold every time. With the intention of gaining migrant diaspora votes the Conservatives would have included this proposal in their foreign relations with a Commonwealth country which is detrimental in the outcome. We had almost five states in the 15th century namely Kotte, Raigama, Seethavaka, Jaffna and Kandy. The Portuguese continued the one State policy and were able to unify the Portuguese territory which absorbed most of the said States which had different royalty. The Dutch continued the struggle to overcome the trade barriers which were a set back over their dominance in business dealings. However the British could accomplish by following the one State policy with the island in the 19th century and proposed the Franchise in 1931 and free education was also introduced.

Now by what stroke of imagination are the Conservatives opposing a Two State policy by the UK over our internal affairs when there is a 225 elected assembly to decide the fate of the nation and Supreme Court with Constitutional powers to determine the Basic Law of the State. It is the British who unified the island and there is no U turn in the matter just because some lobby is pressing a political party to take their stance. We have now gone a step further in governance to go for an executive Presidential system which is different to the Westminster model. Such propaganda would only filtrate social unrest in the peaceful environment prevailing in the island. This is one objective of the overseas diaspora who have left the island for good enjoying the best treatment in other countries under the embalm of refugee status to justify their stay overseas. A wave of animosity, prejudices and demonstrations by ethnic groups working overseas could disturb the peace experienced in the island.
