Some of the ill informed will vote for a military controlled government as they know nothing of good government.  Just wonder when cha cha will wear a hat full of feathers.  

 

Most of those who don't know better work for big foreign or domestic companies or they are part of the uncivilised service, the iron rice bowl crowd.  

This must be fake news. We had to wait for weeks for the general election results.

Ill informed or mass purchased by 1,000 baht freebies ?

So anyone who votes differently to how you think they should is "ill informed and uncivilized"?

 

With such an expression of arrogant, intolerance and "I know better" attitude you must be a left wing liberal!

 

Anyone who knows anything about "good government" certainly wouldn't be voting PTP!

Phew! This has nothing to do with the UK so why bring the UK into this topic? Are you just another twisted, nasty looser? We had 2 victories Bojo and Brexit, the country spoke. The UK voting system has its flaws but the counting is carried out under strict guide lines and not hidden behind closed doors with military presence. If you believe any result in Thailand for the military government you need to see a head doctor. Come on essan voting for the military.... Really...

I didn't say I believed the result, it was a comment about people voting against their own interests, yes it may well have been fiddled but there are still too many people voting for the militry all over Thailand including Isaan...

And by that I'm not talking about brexit one way or the other, but the huge upsurge in the poor, sick and disabled being thrown out on the streets to die, by this government that they've just voted for. 

Just to note that the by-election was held in Khon Kaen because the prior MP was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

 

Other than that, no big deal.
