Democracy has triumphed. The voice of the people prevails. The unthinkable has happened. The dynastic rule of Mahinda Rajapaksa has ended. May this be a lesson to all politicians, including our President elect, that undemocratic practices such as buying politicians and parliamentary majorities, changing constitutions to suit themselves, taking revenge on opponents, abusing state power, corruption, nepotism and thuggery will not be tolerated by Sri Lankans. It is a lesson to our next leader and all politicians that ethnic and religious bigotry and persecution of minorities will not work in Sri Lanka as we have or should have learned the lessons of the 30 year war. The new President would do well to learn the lessons of the fall of the Rajapakse regime and seek to carve out a national identity and ethnic harmony among all Sri Lankans. May this be the dawn of a new and better era for all Sri Lankans.
