newly established "good governance" government, keeps on redefining those terms.
unp's harin fernando, who barely got 40% of vote in recent uva provincial elections, showing utter contempt for people's wishes, has weaseled his way into chief minister's office through backroom maneuvering, ousting upfa government of shamindra rajapakse, who go 51%+.
all this with active support and blessings of ranil's backdoor government in colombo.

btw, shamindra's vote share was same as maithree's, while harin got much less than mahinda's 48%-. same mahinda, slandered as a power mad dictator, who in fact bowed to people's wishes and left office, while harin who was one of those slanderers, now shows his true nature.
- with people being illegally arrested and threatened with prosecution for exercising freedom of expression, and reporting truthful facts, contrary to official spin,
- with rule of law undermined, by thugs threatening chief justice to resign,
- with known sleazebags like ravi karunanayake and mangala samaraweera (not to mention thug rishard bathiudeen and others) holding powerful positions in cabinet,
- etc, etc,,
who is behaving democratically here?
who conducted free and fair elections? who respected people's wishes? who respected freedom of expression? who respected due process?
everyone can see, what is what (except unthinking, ignorant, idiotic, propagandists of ranil, online or off) as each day passes.
