PHUKET: An online poll has shown a “first past the post” majority of people believe that Thailand is ready to hold national elections, but are overshadowed by a combined majority who believe that Thailand is either not ready or that national elections will not make any difference to the political landscape of the country.

 

The poll, which ran for two weeks, was launched after Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha announced that that national elections were expected to be held early next year, likely in February.

What is the use of this useless poll Half the Thais don't even care or know what an election is? Why do I know? My wife if ask her who is leading the government in Bangkok I get a blank look. If politicians are smart just offer the Thai voters a free feed when they come to vote Food more important to a Thai than the election result. You get all the votes you want

I look forward to another poll result in March when the February election doesn't materialize.
