6 million voted for them.

(probably less than that , but still in the millions).

I cannot for the life of me think of another country where millions of citizens would vote for dictatorship - can you?

With that low voter turnout, I can think of one country where millions of citizens didn't vote for dictatorship.

I'm surprised people take these elections seriously. I didn't have to go to a fortune teller to say that military with Prayut will win the elections. Why? Because it's common sense. They control everything. I mean everything ????

No. You would still have a poorly advised, woefully ignorant electorate choosing to Remain primarily because they're sick and tired of the endless to-and-fro and petty politicking. They're bored with it all and want it to end but still can't be bothered to take some time to consider their options beyond what the media headlines say their options are. Because in your own words, that matches perfectly what the people want which is not the same as what the people need.

 

Regarding your shoe conundrum... you asked for a second opinion?

For fear of being fully off topic. The poorly advised and woefully ignorant part of the electorate are the people that voted leave. I don't think I have seen an electorate make such a stupid and illogical decision. WIth a margin so tiny, it should never have been acted upon.

I'm not from the UK but I listen to English nationalists who explained their positions very clearly and with good reasoning. Do you actually know what the other side believes?

Or perhaps he just said never mind i'll use them on the wrong foot because I'm too lazy to change?

Most of my Thai friends are aged below 40, they all say it's time to oust the old school...

reds or yellows they're tired of the same old politics, and hate the military dictatorship.

I have heard a resounding change in views & they're voting for the future forward party !

I asked my wife, neighbour and 2 friends how they voted. 2 are over 40 and the other 2 are younger than 40.

 

FFP = 2

PT =1

PPRP = 1

One thing for sure about the Thais.....they are reliably unreliable!!!

 

They have proven me right again. NEVER get excited about the thought or dream that Thais may think for themselves or rise up for their own good.

 

Sheep...did what they were told to do exactly as expected and exactly as they have been trained to do.

 

You deserve this.

Unsure if i'm allowed to post this, if not then just delete the message.

 

People in my friend's village have been approached yesterday by you-know-who's goons. They made their rounds through the village, knocking on people's doors asking them to vote for their master. In return they receive 1000 baht, and they must send a copy of their ID card by message.

 

I heard same thing is happening in other places.

Not here in rural Khampaeng Phet it isn't, at least in my village.

 

The howling dogs are out every morning for the food vans only.

why must we wait 2 months for the results????

To give the current government time to "adjust" the results.

Just heard on the Thai news that Prayud has won, time to celebrate! 

Does that mean total votes or total number of seats?

Then Thais only have themselves to blame for the result because of their laziness.

Also,  whoever governs cannot say they represent the majority of the people.

My wife, my neighbour and 2 friends from the big village voted. I know as I talked to them this evening.

That's torn it.  More bans.  More crackdowns.  Less fun. 

Pretty sure everyone ever been to an attitude readjustment camp later revealed that they are lots of fun.

Apart from the xenophobe's post being removed (thank you for that), there is one thing I don't understand. Why does Thaivisa not post the relevant election results in a separate thread ?

What a surprise it is ! Yet the exit poll quite clearly showed there was a 90 seat gap. Amazing how a few hours can close such a gap !

 

Rigged ? You bet your ass. 

 

edit: Yet, when the ballot count hit 91 per cent, Pheu Thai had moved forward with 153 seats, while Phalang Pracharat ended with 142 seats. 

 

Seems it is not over yet. It boggles the mind how the exit poll can differ so vastly from the actual results. To me, that is simply not possible. 

It is panic adjustment time when the crap hits the fan.

 

The EC must be in a headless chicken mode.

Probably, I find it disgraceful. No way the exit poll can differ this much from the actual results. You know, I personally think, with this much machination, why even have this election, it is well and truly a farce.

I employ 22 people in this country, and I have a family that I support. We spend a lot of money every month as a family too, further boosting the economy. Please let me know if you want me to pack my bags and take away our money supporting 25 Thais, boosting the Thai economy during these times, when the economy (not according to this government) is obviously down the drain. If I am not welcome here, simply for having an opinion about the future of my children and grandchildren, I'd be happy to do so. Now, that being said, what the hell have you contributed to the Thai economy?

Please, get over yourself and move on.

I don't have any idea how some members decided this thread is about Brexit.   It's not and posts have been removed.   Please stay on topic.  

 

Must be the education in the UK.
