Oslo – This is the first time great numbers of Tamil immigrants were elected to the public office in Norway. Diaspora Tamil community in Europe and North America are showing greater interests in local politics and many Tamils are elected to the public offices in these countries to serve all the communities in the respective area, according to the sources in Norway.

Fifteen Sri Lankan origin Tamils were contested the local council election on last Monday. At least 8 Tamil contestants to the local council election were elected to the public offices as councilors in Norway.

Hamsayini Gunaratnam was elected to the Greater Oslo city council with 2, 123 votes. She contested the election under the banner of Labour party and 18 of 59 Labour contestants were elected as councilors for Greater Oslo council.

Thusyianthy Ganachandra and Sumathy Viyajaraj both were elected for Grorud and Stovner city councils respectively as councilors under the banner of Labour party.

Thilakavathy Shanmuganathan elected as a councilor for Lawrence city council, and she is the first councilor with immigrant background.

Pulenthiran Kanagaratnam and Athithan Kumarasamy both were elected for Grorud and Stovner respectively as councilors for the local councils under the banner of Socialist party.

Maria Sriharan was elected for the Thuromsa local council while Anpalagan Ratnasingham elected to Norweic as councilors under the banner of Red Alliance party.

Close to one million Tamils were displaced to Europe, North America, Australia, India and many other countries of the world to escape the bloody civil war in Sri Lanka. The war which was going on for more than three decades claimed at least 80,000 so far and Tamils in Sri Lanka saying, they were discriminated [against] by the majority Sinhalese community and treated as second-class citizens in their own county for more than five decades.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is involved in armed struggle to establish an independent state for the Tamils in Sri Lanka since late seventies. Norway inspired Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) back in 2002 between the government and the LTTE brought relative peace for short period. CFA is only valid in paper as violence has intensified between both government and the LTTE.

Last 2 years of escalating violence in Sri Lanka alone claimed at least 5,400 people lives while thousands were either abducted or disappeared and close to half a million people were internally displaced in the north and east of Sri Lanka with limited access to food, medicines and other basic essentials according to the international rights groups.

This is unexplaiable without mentioning the Norwegian election law.

First the parties elect the people that will stand on different party lists for the municipally.

Then on election night, people are alowed to give an extra votes to people by crossing on people namas. Some of the socialist parties put immgrants as filling material on their lists, but because the immigrants then all gave extra votes to the immigrants, they all came in.

This is now a hard pill to swallow for the socialists, as they in a way is forced to applaud it, while we other laugh from schadenfreude.

I am interested in this.

Before this election we were allowed to cross people out as well, in stead of just giving extra votes. This was removed because of the official reason that men crossed out women. This happened to a slight degree, but what really happened, was that people crossed out immigrants.

This election however, the norwegians forgot to give extra votes to all the norwegians, so the socialists all suffered from to many immigrats getting in.

More to the point, what the hell are Tamils doing in Norway?

I can understand the UK, where there is at least some rationale for uninvited Tamils turning up because of the colonial 'legacy', but Norway?

What conceivable association is there between Norway and Sri kanka?

They just started to come. I suppose there is some Norwegian-Tamil friendship organization that helped them.

I want all brown people out of the country, and as also the tamils don't manage to live here without swindeling the norwegians, they to will become hated.

We have sterilized minorities before that did not know how to behave themselves, and it is only a matter of time, before we start doing it again.

It is being revealed that they cheated, and that this is the reason they managed to get so many new representatives.


Drug addicts offered money to vote Labour
Drug addicts in the town of Drammen say they were offered money or free kebabs to vote for the Labour Party in the local election last week.

Bent Sandberg was offered NOK 50 (about USD 9) to vote for the Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet) in the local election last week. He declined the bribe.

"It is nasty to take advantage of society’s weakest people. And to offer NOK 50 is scornful. But I know many people accepted the money," he told local newspaper Drammens Tidende.

Reports were also coming out Wednesday that some drug addicts had been offered free kebabs to vote Labour.

Else Marie Romset is one of the people who accepted money to go to the voting both. On her ballot, someone had already put a cross next to the name of local Labour politician Yousuf Gilani.

Gilani denied any knowledge about the alleged bribe, and told the local newspaper that he believed someone had planted the story to damage his reputation.

Local Labour Party leader Torgeir Micaelsen Wednesday called for an internal investigation in the party, and threatened to expel the person or persons who offered the bribe.

As can be seen in the picture, these new officials have perfectly integrated into the Norwegian culture.
