Professionals for change in electoral system
The electoral system of the country under the preferential vote system should be changed. It had created unhealthy rivalry, more divisions and confusion not acceptable in the 21st century, Attorney-at-law Kalinga Indatissa said. He was speaking at a press conference of the Sri Lanka Professional Forum at the Mahaweli centre yesterday. He said the 1981 Act of Parliament of J. R. Jayewardene government had contributed to more conflicts and confusion by dividing people with more divisions like caste, religion and ethnicity.
