Opposition can sort of campaign but not really say anything so not exactly a useful poll yet again.

Does anyone know of ANY politicians who kept their campaign promises after they were elected?

 

"Work on the wall will start on my first day in office"

There is still much corruption in Thailand, there was one "politician" or was it a general who tried to do politics and who promised to stop it.

Then you know now who not to choose with the coming elections, whenever they come.

A very interesting signature sign off you have Thailand and how appropriate: “If Churchill was around today, imagine how good his tweets would have been.”

 

Are you aware that Churchill was the first politician to publicly propose a "United Europe" in order bring stability and reduce the risk of conflict in the region?

 

His tweets certainly would be most interesting.

 

Back on topic. For the first time in my life I could find myself voting Labour.

100 % of the participants in the polls said they feel unconscious, and unwilling to do anything to change the situation.
