Eric Loh Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Think Don saying foreign observers not really necessary since elected governments are no match for coups.

Nobody expects this election to be fair, but if they opened it to foreign observers people would give the government the legitimacy they seek. Do the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, NZ, Italy, Poland etc etc etc all allow foreign obvservers> But of course, as they would never ever cheat, now would they!

He must also have gotten that Laos and Vietnam are Communist - they have a one party political system. Election monitors would be irrelevant - there is no political opposition.

Srikcir Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 9 hours ago, webfact said: "To have others observing means the country is having a problem," Really. Was there an irregularity with the General Election that voted in Prayut as the Prime Minister as well as the all ministers of the National Legislative Assembly? Was there a problem with the February 2014 General Election that saw the Constitutional Court invalidate the election results, the third election that had been voided by the Constitutional Court since its creation? Since at least back to 2010 there have been national election "problems" in Thailand that merits foreign monitoring. I hope the EU makes an issue of election monitoring as it has with Cambodia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self explanatory. International election observers in United States to hold press conference on Wednesday The International Election Observation Mission comprises a total of some 140 observers from 35 countries, including 84 parliamentarians and staff from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and 55 long-term observers and election experts deployed by Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights . https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/18/us/politics/donald-trump-jr-secret-service.html I'm sure you can research for more examples. I'm also sure that Prayut would object to the same observers as they would lack "Thainess." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfLight Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Thai junta does not understand the difference between 'do not need' and 'do not want for reasons they'd rather not talk about'. At least they say one when they mean another but fear it may not be accepted. So why take the risk by telling the truth when you can tell a lie - right? This is Thailand after all, and these are Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are they tin-pot 3rd world countries with a reputation for braggadoccio, dishonesty and propagandising and pillaging their populations? Must compare apples with apples and not apples with oranges. Comparing Thailand with Cambodia and Laos is probably more sensible than comparing it with Germany and France.
