Unpredictable ? BS from the academics. Outcome already decided.

Obviously the General will win.. The 250 military men he has chosen will see to that..

Rumor is that ballot boxes are being opened to "sort" the votes in a neatly manner. Aren't those boxes supposed to be sealed until the official count??? ????

Approach, messy, yes. Results, unpredictable, no. Aftermath, messy, yes.

there's a couple of other words that come to mind, but alas they'd be deleted if I put them in.

Please use discretion in your references to the government. Phrases which can be considered as anti-coup will be removed. Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed.

 

 

Unless one is a major in English what's the difference?

Does a major outrank a general?

these are the very folks who almost never bring up decentralization of the schools, which was underway just as this whole series of events began.  as a "kohn tung chat" [foreigner] of course it's not really my business except that it does stop me cold from being a long term bull on Thailand, investment wise and it is the first and last thing public policy wise that I ever think of for this country, aside from preparing to mitigate Climate related things such as preparing for any chance of a more pervasive ENSO, and equalizing the health care schemes they have.... which would complement decentralization of the schools just fine.

Well they allowed the British people in 2016 to vote on whether they wanted to remain in the E.U. And they voted No, in the largest turnout to a British election. Then they ignored their vote.

I can recall a line from the movie Pearl Harbour when, after bombing Pearl Harbour a Japanese officer said "I'm afraid we may have awoken a sleeping dragon" this may well be the case here.

"Isoroku Yamamoto regarding the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by forces of Imperial Japan. ... I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

I could be wrong but the divide will not change red and yellow or nth versus sth.i can not change what Thais vote for

It wasn't the largest turnout by a long chalk. And they never asked them how to leave.

When the Wife went to vote. Her area was Number one. They told her no you are in the wrong area. You want number two. She went to number two area to be told, no you should be voting in Area one. But it’s ok you can vote here. Do spoiled votes not get counted. Think what you like. Also she asked about the plastic unsealed boxes. Think from Big C. She was told. They are strong. Her answer was yes but can be swapped easily. We left sharpish.

Does this not get removed as not a Thailand issue.

It should, along with Thairealisะ's initial remark. Let him leave but I shall remain.

Yes well no matter who wins my daughter made me proud of her last Saturday. She's not old enough to vote, but told her mother "If you don't vote, you'll be voting for Prayuth to stay". Attagirl.

In Singapore voters have to show their ID. They are then given a voting slip which has a bar code that is linked and therefore traceable to their ID. So you can guess who the government, police, army and most people who don’t want any comebacks vote for. Nothing is secret when it comes to politics and money.

You mean, Ultra corrupt with a lot of hidden agendas, cheating, corruption, vote buying, stalking and brown envelopes behind the scenes.

And what, pray tell, is "unpredictable" about any of this?

I’m stating that nothing is clear and fair in politics. Do you really think Singaporean government workers, business owners, police officers and army are going to vote for an new party when they know the government has information on who they vote for.  I lived and worked in Singaporean so have many Singaporean friends. Singapore to me is a great country but to locals they just call the PAP political party in power the Pay And Pay party.

Just the excuses and cover ups are unpredictable...
