Helping both parties work out a federal solution is the Forum of Federations, a Canadian group of experts who have been part of the peace process since the 3rd Round in Oslo. The Forum has facilitated LTTE study tours to many countries in Europe and the West in order to expose them to federal ideas. However, members of the LTTE who have been part of these study tours have been deeply nationalistic in meetings with the Tamil diaspora. No tangible mention of the federal idea has featured in any one of these meetings. The question begs to be asked whether the LTTE itself is sincere about its commitment to a federal solution.
Coterminous with this scepticism is the commitment of the Government itself to the federal idea. It is unclear whether there exists a polarisation within the ruling United National Front (UNF) government with regards to federalism.
