Political Parties should genuinely address sovereign voter proposals at the APC – By Bernard Fernando<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The \u2018All Party Conference\u2019 (APC) aimed at resolving our National issue has come to a grinding halt due to the stubbornness and \u2018one -upmanship\u2019 embedded in the DNA of our traditional Political parties. However, the country loving sovereign voters are confident that the reconciliation proceedings can be catalysed by addressing the following Electoral Reforms\/System changes with a \u2018win-win\u2019 outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n

1)Allocate seats to People\u2019s Representatives using simple Proportionate arithmetic\u00a0 thereby ensuring ‘Equality of Vote’\u00a0 as per UN Human Rights Declaration of 1948 and fostering ‘Sri lankan ness’ in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Ensure Quality of Peoples’ Representatives by applying a mandatory methodology based on Meritocracy using minimum eligibility criteria and a structured interview marking system applicable to all parties across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Abolish existing Preference Voting (\u2018Manape\u2019) and Mixed Member Voting (MMV) systems together with \u2018Cross-over\u2019 provision. If really necessary, allow all parties to enter their nominees in merit order using any one choice from 03 District\/Electorate lists captioned PR, FPP or Central-Pool as stipulated by the National Elections Commission (NEC).<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Apply Proportionate Representation arithmetic to allocate Cabinet seats too, to further ensure \u2018Sri Lankan ness\u2019 through a sustainable National Cabinet.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Objectively, strengthen Provincial Councils (PCs) with more powers, if necessary, and rationalise the role of National MPs who are presently allocated with funds under the \u2018Decentralised budget\u2019 to protect their \u2018Preference Vote Bank\u2019 in the respective Districts. The abolition of \u2018Preference Voting\u2019 system will make such fund allocations redundant.<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Depoliticise the Local Govt.(LG) level tier and allow one independent candidate selected by vote to represent each ‘Jana Sabha'(JS) proposed by the National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) at Grama Niladhari Division (GND) level. He\/She shall be the JS representative\/facilitator taking up their recommendations\/issues with LG authorities at Divisional Secretary (DS) level. The elected JS Representatives will elect their respective \u2018Pradeshiiya Sabha\/Urban Council\/ Municipal Council Office Bearers. The JS concept encompasses people\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0 participation in \u2018National Policy making\u2019 too under a \u2018Bottom -up’ approach. The establishment of \u2018Jana Sabhas\u2019 needs to be expedited towards this end.<\/span><\/p>\n

7)Abolish Executive Presidency with effect from a specified date through a Referendum providing for the Election of \u00a0a \u2018Hybrid Governor General\u2019 (HGG) from 3 candidates proposed by the Constitutional Council, with the vote of MPs and Provincial Council (PC) members. The appointed HGG will have additional powers to appoint Provincial Governors and through them ensure timely execution of Parliament approved Acts, Laws, Budgets and Programmes without red tape. To expedite the process and save costs, PC Elections and the Referendum can be held on one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering the genre of our current Political Parties in the Parliament, who are hell bent on grabbing power by hook or by crook, and the apathy shown by them towards \u2018System changes\u2019, it is evident that that the proposed \u2018System changes\u2019 pose a threat to their \u2018Status \u2013Quo\u2019.\u00a0 Further, with the sheer inability of our corrupt \u2018Party- system\u2019 to abolish the politicized ‘Executive Presidency’ hanging fire for the last 30 years, the country loving citizens are utterly frustrated by the present Political culture. During the initial period of the historic,\u2019Peaceful Aragalaya\u2019 in April 2022, the writer\u2019s article titled\u00a0 \u2018 System changes prior to next general election to avoid further curse of the 225\u2019<\/strong>, which appeared in the Press, inter alia recommended\u00a0 the following \u2018System change\u2019 being one among his comprehensive package of System changes that are being up dated since 2016 in keeping with the changing aspirations of the sovereign voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Make \u2018Executive President\u2019 a \u2018Non-Partisan-Statesman\u2019 by calling for applications from \u2018Independent\u2019 Candidates,\u00a0 conforming to a robust set of eligibility criteria laid down under the respective Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. i) An \u2018Independent\u2019 Executive President, will strengthen the proper functioning of the \u20183 Pillars\u2019.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. ii) It will make the 2nd preference in the ballot paper more meaningful and easier for the voter to select an alternate candidate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    iii) The presence of an independent \u2018task master\u2019 will ensure proper follow up and implementation of laws, budgets and programs proposed under the \u2018Election Manifesto\u2019 of the governing party as and when approved by the Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Alternate proposals arising from recent developments in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. i) Powers of Executive Presidency to be reduced by repealing the 20th amendment and removing other obnoxious clauses such as immunity from judicial review.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. ii) 19th amendment to be restored with suitable modifications.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      iii) In the alternative, Elected Executive Presidency to be substituted by a Ceremonial Presidency with additional powers to ensure Execution of the Laws and programmes in the \u2018Election Manifesto\u2019 of the Governing Party as and when approved by the Parliament and implementation of approved Parliamentary and Decentralised Budgets through the Provincial Council. Administration system.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

      As we know i) and ii) above have since been implemented though not up to the desired level.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      The present political scenario chronologically points to the Executive Presidential Election. However, to achieve the people\u2019s wish to abolish the much despised Executive Presidency and replace it with the proposed HGG, firstly it is essential to hold the long delayed PC Elections and the relevant Referendum on one day without further delay because the votes of PC members are necessary to elect the HGG. It is very likely that the voters will give a resounding \u2018Yes\u2019 for the Referendum to abolish the Executive Presidency. When the due Presidential Election is held, in keeping with the provisions of the Referendum, the people will have to recall the failure of the current \u2018Party system\u2019 to abolish Executive Presidency for 30 years\u00a0 and judiciously vote for a suitable ‘Independent candidate’ who can be relied upon to abolish the current Executive Presidency and prioritise the passage of the aforesaid critical \u2018System changes\u2019 and other related and cost effective proposals of country loving Sovereign voters that \u00a0have already appeared in the Press, before holding further Elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Finally, if our Country is fortunate to have a Parliament occupied by \u2018Country first-Political Professionals\u2019 \u00a0and a \u2018Hybrid Governor General\u2019 as mentioned above,\u00a0 we can surely enjoy \u00a0the fruits of true \u2018Sri Lankan ness\u2019, Peace and prosperity \u00a0tempered with a massive cost saving bonuses arising from the repeal of Island-wide Presidential and politicized Local Govt. Elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u2018\u2019 If there is a will, there is a way ! \u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
