Tamil Party Fights for Federalism.


       Far away there is a place that is called Sri Lanka that is fighting for the rights of Federalism. Federalism is a type of government that divides the power between different branches of an institution. In America, Federalism is a central part of our role in our country. Federalism gives us the opportunity to have a vital say in our policies and officials. We the people are in control of the government , not a centralized government around a single body with all power. The Tamil Party in Sri Lanka, is in favor of this successful and vital type of government. " TNA Firmly believes that sovereignty lies with the people and not with the state." They believe that this will solve many of the various problems of the country, for example many war crimes which have ridden the country in the past years. The Tamil Party also believes that giving people the opportunity to voice their opinions through Federalism will finally let the people get involved in a non violent way. I believe that Federalism would be beneficial to their society, because it is so different than the centralized government they have now. I look forward to the changes that Sri Lanka will endure and hope that Federalism works in favor for them like it has here in America.
