Dilemma of the Missing Green Votes - Solved

How did Mahinda win by a larger margin than anybody expected.
The analysis of voter trends can not provide an explanation. My husband's deputy with his great and brilliant analytical skills got it sooooo wrong. The dilemma - Why did the green bloods vote for MR?

Serious Subject at Club
Late last night my brother in law dropped in for a chat over coffee. He was after a few drinks with his buddies at the club.
There is nothing better than alcohol and spicy bites to stimulate the lankan brains. So the guys at the club had decided to solve the dilemma and solve they did.
These tipsy dudes did what no sober analysts could ever do. They found the missing green votes.
Why do Women Hurt Men So?
The wives of these green bloods had voted for MR. The guys are feeling betrayed, sad and jealous.

How was MR able to entice their good little green women away from them?
Could it be his jet black hair and mustache? No. It's obviously coloured and our wives have better taste.
Could it be his smile of flashing porcelain teeth? Maybe.... but really..... for porcelain?
Was it the maroon silk Satakaya? Well who can understand women?

My Husband's Explanation
Ranil and Mangala were the architects of the campaign. They were able to convince the men but not the women since they don't know anything about women. MR of course knows women well. My husband is the product of a boarding school so I think he has a point.

My Explanation
Who better than ME, a woman, to tell you how women think? So let me explain.
A woman's strongest instinct is the protection of her children.
Mahinda ended the war so the women are very grateful. I was in a constant state of anxiety while the war was on and now am truly relieved.
Women never forget, as any married man or even one with a girlfriend knows. Any wrong ever done by her man, by word or deed, however small or long in the past, is never forgotten. It's brought up whenever there is a fight.
The women did not forget what MR did to make this country safe for their children. They were grateful enough to overcome party affiliations and also to overlook the wrongs committed by MR and his clan.
Ranil and Mangala don't have children or real wives, so could not predict the thinking of women.

Men Please Note :
1. Children always come first for a mother. I hurt my husband when I told him this. The truth hurts sometimes.
2. There is no cause for worry. We women do not find MR attractive. Actually I find him quite repulsive.

    only ppl who were irrational, unrealistic and racist (eg indi.padashow) did not expect mr to win big.
