Power and status...

Thailand needs fresh energy, young politicians and leaders and progressive ideas. They will not come from these dinosaurs. The house needs to be cleaned, somehow. Granted, this guy has a degree from a good university, and seems smart and experienced. Alot more than one can say about Prayuth and Prawit.

 

But, it will take alot more than that, to bring Thailand back from the brink.

Appears to the long standing norm the world over. 

 

No exception here, of course.
