Fine ideals. Sadly, that means it would certainly lose any election in the current environment!!!

I just hope the people get someone in who is not the present Junta, or a close frind. It is way past

time that Thailand becomes a democratic country.

Geezer

At least here people can vote for a leader.. not all parties are like that.
