In pictures: Link-up with voters in Sri Lanka

When it comes to managing the ethnic conflict and the economy, I think Mahinda Rajapakse's approach is likely to deliver results.

Everybody supports the peace process but only Mahinda has recognised the need for widespread consensus for any peace deal.

Ranil Wickramasinghe is a right-winger who backs privatisation and more foreign investment. This is important but I believe Mahinda has Sri Lankan interests at heart.
