webfact Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Over half of Thais feel Government’s performance unchanged – Suan Dusit Poll Over half of the respondents to a Suan Dusit Poll feel that the performance of the pre and post-election governments under Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha are the same. The poll gauged the opinions of 1,223 people from various occupations across the country between October 1st and 5th. 51.68% of the respondents said there is no difference in the performance of the two governments because they contain the same people in charge and the same old policies. 41.70%, however, said the performance of the post-election government is worse, citing the economic slowdown, widespread poverty and failure to address the root causes of problems. 6.62% of the respondents said they feel the performance has improved, citing the government’s “Chim-Shop-Chai” program and the populist Welfare Card scheme.

Cadbury Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 3 hours ago, webfact said: Over half of Thais feel Government’s performance unchanged The proof is there to see. The second quarter GDP growth was the lowest since Prayut initiated the coup. The country has gone nowhere in 5 years. One has only to look at the quality of the ministers chosen by Prayut to see that this level of under performance will remain unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It's still amazing to me after all these years how decades of social conditioning can pacify a populace to the point that no matter what happens, 99.9% just accept it as the way things are. I mean, we see it to a certain extent in western democracies, but it's taken to an entirely new level in this part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo2014 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 This is a flawed question - the question should first establish a benchmark for how people consider the performance of the government, ie: Incredibly terrible, moderately terrible etc.. then ask whether they think its improving or not. Else we have no real measure on which to gauge improvement/decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed what province they stood in (maybe Tank province). It disgusts me when he prance about as PM and especially when other leaders accept him oh and his fan club of farang fan boys.

spidermike007 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Absolutely fake news. When 41.70% said the performance of the post-election government is worse, citing the economic slowdown, widespread poverty and failure to address the root causes of problems, you have some real issues. Things have changed. People approve far less of the administration. This is really bad news for the hapless army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair to the Thais: unlike in England or Austria or Switzerland (for example), people demonstrating in the streets in Thailand against the System ultimately face the very real possibility of being slaughtered. It takes great courage to stand up to that threat ( a threat which was incarnated into action as recently as 2010). Some peoples would stand up to that threat nevertheless (as has happened with valiant peoples throughout history). The Thais have chosen en masse not to ...
