In the same time, a win for MR would reduce the much expected post election violence.

If MR can manage to get a 60% win over the main opponent in the presidential election that can very well guarantee an easy win for him in the upcoming parliament election.

This will be MR’s last win and that will be the last win for UPFA too. In another term it will be their death win. MR can bring forward one of his brother (Basil, Probably) as the next presidential candidate, but only to create strong objections from his own party. That will break the party in to several pieces. In the same way bringing up one like Maithreepala Sirisena would also be an efficacious remedy to lost the election. He is the next logical selection for the post. But he is not a popular character among people. I don't think that he ever had a vision like it was with MR. It can be some one from UNP or the candidate may not be even from UNP, but whoever it is, the bottom line is that it is going to be someone from another party (not UPFA) who is going to govern this nation after MR. That day if MR and his family does not want the people of his country to chase after them forgetting everything they did in the past, just like they did to CBK, he has to perform miracles, arrays of miracles just like he did by winning this war against terror. We will just be observers, they are the actors of this scene..
In my view point after they complete MR terms, UPFA will definitely lose the power. That will bring the much waited election violence into the stage too. That day, many politicians (including Mervin Silva), few media personals, army officers, artists will have to pay for the life they earned by doing what they do today. So it is going to be an interesting future ahead.. Election violence, corruption, and political jokes, political dramas (likes of what Wimal Weerawamse is doing) will be of their peaks. This will burry many into the sand valley of the nature as traitors, theifs, loons etc .. If one can remain as a Hero.. I sincerely hope that it would be MR. He has to be the Hero of this era..
The pen (to write the history) is with MR and he will be writing the history for him after the win over this election..
Later... In 20 years time from now....., the time will tell whether he really is the hero of this era or not..
