Popular Post ThreeEyedRaven Posted December 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2018 Given that they have been effectively campaigning for a very long time, and have fixed the parliamentary make up with lots of members chosen by the junta, not elected, they probably do know the result pretty much already. One can only hope that something goes very, very wrong for them and a surprise is in the works. I would pay whatever demanded, to be a fly on the wall, when Prayut learns he has been defeated, and all his skulduggery comes to nothing. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zzaa09 Posted December 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yet, not to be announced officially for a week after. Any way that one draws it up, there's deep shenanigans involved. It is what it is. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of April. 2 months after the election, is the deadline for the Election Commission to declare all of the results. Within that period, cases of cheating, fraud, miscounting, lost ballet boxes etc can be dealt with. But these should be the anomalies. The vast majority of election results will be available within a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can add 'Fight it' to the end of the list. It's a corrosive force that melts the brain. Just observe overseas Thais returning and how quickly they get lulled back into Thainess. Practitioners should be kept in a maximum security asylum to prevent the disease from spreading. Good for holidays though.

stud858 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My idea of a fair election. A public website whereby you log in with your I'd card. Place your votes and they are in view for everyone to see. No hidden voting allowed. Those needing help with the tech can go to polling stations to get help. I can't think of a fairer in the open system. As for those wanting anonymous voting...well there lies the problem. It's open to corruption 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First people were complaining that the results would be late and suggesting fraud, now when its fast they are again suggesting fraud.

Oh I would suggest quite a lot of us: study it, learn it, comprehend it. I for one, and I suspect a number of what may be called "the usual suspects" on this forum don't regard it as "Thainess", but rather as a regime and philosophy (in a limited sense of the word) imposed upon the Thai nation and people by a venal and grasping self centred group, who have used their wealth to engineer control of the country, and are now exploiting and consolidating that control to further increase their wealth at the expense of the country. If unchecked, it will ultimately only have one ending. That won't be what is conventionally regarded as "Thainess" either.

Burma Bill Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Quote:- "UNOFFICIAL results will be announced by 10pm" (5 hours later) so when will the OFFICIAL results be announced? Okay for Bangkok but what about the many isolated rural constituencies spread across the vast area of hills and mountains in Northern Thailand.

And, so the government who was fairly elected got to fire some people. So what. What happened in subsequent elections? Were further elections kept open to the public. Is the list of voting still available to the public? Can I view them? I think you'll find it was not as I stated it should be, but I'm open to accept it that open elections happened if I'm shown the proof. In this case, the easily accessible election voting list, or as I like to refer to it, the EAEVL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
