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.

Over half the Thais have their heads buried in their handsets busy keeping up on social media gossip and trivial pursuits and how many 'likes' they got, how would they know any different i wonder?...

Over half

I  think youve  grossly underestimated  that

I it only exist because the dumb not democratic party sided with the military again.   What did they think was going to happen?  It is embarrassing watching cha cha day in day out say dumb things.

It has succeeded in every way to increase the chances of corruption and will continue in this direction!

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.

 

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.

Yeah, right. It's called the Mai Pen Rai syndrome.

That's because it is still the SAME government, run by the same shining light ruler. Ya don't need a poll to tell you that! Geez.

If more than 50% were looking for change they should have voted appropriately !

51.68 % Thais,

try 99.99% Farangs

"Over half of Thais feel Government’s performance unchanged..."

 

THEY obviously didn't survey the 'RIGHT' half of the PEOPLE...........

OR...... Just more 'FAKE NEWS'

Lucky they only surveyed junta supporters , if they surveyed everyone else results would be into 3 digits with lots of unpleasant words ????

If Lao is leaving you in their dust you have a huge problem.

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.  

They must have been very lucky with this survey. 98% of all the Thais I know are for sure not positive.

That's exactly right. They voted for his mob, and therefore him, so let them reap what they sowed. In the meantime, Anutin will get the people so bombed out, they won't even know when they're being shafted.

    Chim Shop Chai and Welfare 1,000 baht? 

 

    In one sentence. The government has failed to achieve anything.

Well, I can see why the folks in Hong Kong  protest:  They want the right to vote.  But Thais have that; they all got to vote.  What is there not to accept?  :) :) :)

I can't remember anyone voting for the PM or the other unelected.... 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. 

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. 

...the performance of WHAT, exactly?

I totally understand and share your sentiments, Katipo (above). 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 ...

And I think from memory the latest Thai GDP growth forecast has been downgraded to 2.7%.

Having  a soldier in charge  of the army makes sense  and security  for the nation 

Having a born  bread politcan makes sense of running the country and protecting  the economy 

 

 

Like a foot ball team  they all want  what is best for Thailand  but now the teams are playing  in the wronf positions such  as goal keeper now playing  attacker and now goal is empty
