    Because the power is still in the hands of a few generals, but even that is breaking down. Prayuth and Prawit are on the way out and there is a much biggger split in the military. A lack of trust between generals from different camps (Queen's Guard vs King's Guard). Hence the changes at the top by the top. 

     

    As to whether the protesters ideas are backed by the majority or not, I think you would agree that traditional support on the yellow side has dropped considerably. Maybe some of their ideas go against the grain, but many of them are valid demands that should be acceptable to both sides, and are far from extreme. I personally have been surprised by the number of people who I would have sworn were traditionally yellow, who have spoken out against the current regime/system. They are not youngsters either, people in the 50's, 60s and 70s. The demographic that traditionally doesn't want to see change.   

    So far agreed.

    However, even there would be a democratic government the system would be still the same.

    (I hope you'll understand. I can't make it clearer).

    So a real change is not in sight.

    I don't see how anyone can teach common sense, some people have a lot of it, some have some of it, and some have very little or none.

    Seems to me in your opinion there can't be any improvement in the world.

    I see it more optimistic. The more we are connected to each other by Media or traveling I don't give up hope for a change.

    However, we have to keep in mind that not even half of the world follow democratic govts, what makes it more difficult to follow essential objektives than filling dictator's pockets.

    If they make grass legal things will change but not for the better. More Thai's should learn to drive at driving schools as some are very good. But they need to take what they learn to the roads after they get their license.

    Maybe the young ones will learn at driving schools.

    However, how many are on the roads even who bought their license?

    Australia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest six times since their debut in 2015 and has been in the top ten four times. The country's best result in the contest is a second-place finish for in 2016. Australia also finished in the top ten in three of its other appearances in the contest, with finishing fifth in 2015, and finishing ninth in 2017 and 2019.


     

     

     

    That is not an answer by far.

    It was about why Israel is counted as an Asian country.

    no it won't

     

    you cannot stop the spread of omicron

     

    if the people have been vaccinated with at least 2 doses of an effective vaccine they will be protected from serious illness and needing medical care

    That's not right.

    You have to be vaccinated with two doses of either Biontech or Moderna. PLUS a booster of one of those. The Chinese stuff doesn't protect you could see now. (Olympic Games Beijing) ,????

    I use a broker.

    You can do things like that when you have money.

    I wouldn't want to live in Spain. Sorry.

    If you want to live there, that's great.

    I can afford to live where i like.

    I think that option may not be open to you.

    Please send another emoji.

    Is there a poor emoji?

    If you can afford as you said....why you live in Thailand? For cheap Sex? Or high temps? Or knocked down or robbed? Or poor food? Polluted cities or air? Sure, you can't get it in Spain. 

    Btw I doubt anyone who lives in Thailand got as many properties outside as you tell me in a very bragging boasting way. No regrets.????
