Popular Post RJRS1301 Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 Each member to confirm verbally who they support True democracy, sounds like intimidation to me Wonder how many car accidents will happen after the verbal votes?? What happened to secret ballots ? Who has paid for the votes?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artisi Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe verbal voting isn't so bad, at least the people can see if the ones they voted for actually vote on the commitments they made to the people, but then probably the majority of Thais don't really care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these people started at village level, elected by the villagers (yes, little known fact, the ordinary Chinese do get to vote), onto township level if their peers think they're fit and proper, onto town, city, provincial government and finally Zhongnanhai if they exceed the standards at every step.. Takes around 25 years. What are the similarities here then? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddox41 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 No surprise here. Considering the Rooster hand picked his senate with family friends and allies. What a joke but most thais have forgotten already about the election there in for another 10 +,yrs of this moron. Good luck Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) The democratic election is misleading. There're lots of flaws with democracy everywhere in the world. They really should revamp the system. It's full of money politics, biased constituency delineation etc. The outcome is almost 99% certain.

I have to say it's been a while since Steven lost the plot and treated us to one of his "go home you bitching falangs" performances. Quite like old times! Where do these aggressively pro-military farangs come from anyway? Literally all the farangs and most of the Thais I know don't like the junta, and this has been true since the first time I came to Thailand back in 2010. Even the ones who aren't actively against it are more ambivalent than supporting. It's pretty much only on Thai Visa and in the media that I ever see people supporting it with this kind of passion.

Many farang may disagree but really who cares as it's for the people of Thailand and it's country not the whinging bitching farang who think thailand owes them a government of their likening and nobody else's. Simple ..if you don't like it in this country then go home. It's not your country, you are a guest, the same would apply in your home country and town so stop bitching and whining because nobody is listening. Thailand is what it is and it is governed by Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha so like it or lump it ..that's what it is. ???? It's good to see that your true colours are being shown again..... Whinging bitching and whining about other farang. What right do you have to tell others where to live? This is a forum where people are entitled to express their opinions without having no-hopers like you telling them to live elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
