That was expected as the constitution was written under the military Junta. -

Not an election as we understand it. More like a selection. If you want to understand how it works, it's all explained here: https://www.ilaw.or.th/articles/20706 Quote: What the constitutional drafters envisioned as an election among an exclusive club of the nonpartisan experts will turn out to be an election for the elderly, wealthy, and well-connected few. -
Boston's massive drop in homicides leads nation
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not true. The changes have been made under Trump. Edit Actually it took 4 years to progressively implement the system, until the switch on 1 January 2021, so nothing to do with the Biden administration. https://bjs.ojp.gov/nibrs-estimation-project -
Boston's massive drop in homicides leads nation

The "recent changes" occurred on 1st Jan. 2021 (so still under the Trump administration, BTW). It means the 2023 data are comparable to the 2021 and 2022 data. -

Move Forward party leads Pheu Thai by a wide margin in new poll
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Due to the nomination process, the Senate will likely be controlled by the conservative elite. However, as I understand, the new Senate will not elect the PM any more. -

It would have been interesting to know for which party they would vote.... -
Obviously, you haven't looked at recent polls. Anyway, it would be the same if the property were called Biden or Obama. Whatever the name, It's not in the interest of sellers that the name of the building may displease around 50% of potential buyers. I guess that when they bought it, Trump wasn't a politician.

Putin's problem is that his Russia has no soft power. Russia is a failed State which attracts no one. Ex in Europe, which people would prefer Russia's boots and economy, to the laws and wealth of the EU? -

Joe Biden Is Now Beating Donald Trump With Republican Pollsters As Well

Trump's "vision"ยก Ahem! Trump was rather erratic, but led by three principles: - undo what Obama did or initiated, ex NAFTA, replaced by something similar under another name, TPP... - rather than multipolar, he was against multinational organisations because he thought that USA, as the largest economy, could exert more power in bilateral negotiations. That's why, for example, he did not like the EU, the UN, etc.. - the third principle was show-business, that is mediatic coups. However, he completely overestimated his capabilities, and was fooled by Kim, Putin, Xi, and also Netanyahu (luckily, his aides convinced him to prevent Netanyahu from annexing the territories in the "peace" agreement. -

Not all Trump voters are MAGA. The % of Republicans who believe the Pizzagate conspiracy theory would be a reasonably good approximation -
