Suan Dusit Poll says most people believe the next government will be better

By Thai PBS

 

 

Over 50 percent of respondents to Suan Dusit Poll believe that the post-election government will be democratic, represent the people and perform better than the previous governments.

 

However, 42.30 percent of the respondents of the same poll believe that there won’t be changes for the better because the same old politicians will get elected into the parliament with the country still divided with colour politics.

 

Dusit Poll surveyed the opinions of 1,130 respondents during June 5-9 about their political interests. Election ranks top of their political issue of interest followed by the performance of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha government and new political parties.

"most " people "believe" in a god..................... both as daft as each other

“Asked what they expect from the election, 34.26 percent say they expect to have the right of political participation; 31.98 percent expect Thailand to be more recognized internationally with the election; and 27.66 percent say they will have a new government”

 

Depressingly low expectations. 

 

Even so, they will probably be disappointed at what they do eventually get...

yeah it is called 'Hope'; seems based only on the growing realization that the current govt just isnt any good

[sammieuk1]

More professional embezzlers so you feel your still wearing pants is the most hopeful outcome.

I think most Thais don't realize that the outcome will be somewhat predetermined.

Combine all these matters of public interest, and it's like binge-watching a DVD box set of the Jurassic Park movies.

Thais dreaming of a White Xmas.

Are they saying it just couldn't be worse than it is now.

[Misterwhisper]

The next government will be better... well, that's an easy one, isn't it? If the next government is a civilian one, it will be "better" by default.

 

Whether it also will be less inept, less corrupt and less self-serving than the current one is an entirely different question. Although I do have a good hunch that it won't.

You mean like... "First there'll be a lot of 'ooh' and 'aah', but later there's running... and screaming"?

 

Or... "Life will find a way"?

But at least they could be voted out if such an election happens. That is at least a start.

Any thing is better than the current pretenders

 It is surely not on TV that you will find any, so much so that one could believe it is forbidden, ..but it is only unpopular... 

 

[DM07]

I believe, I should have another beer!

 

On a slightly different note: being better than the current government?!

Wow...talk about low hanging fruit!

No surprise, many people did inform themselves about the content of the new constitution and how it prevent democracy from functioning.
