entering a new phase, where divisions are more glaring and more generational, violence always lurks and foreign influences affect both sides of the standoff more openly and probably more aggressively.

Like in so many other countries , politicians in Thailand and the public as well , are deeply divided in nearly equal percentage points ( 50/50 ) .

If there are elections with a not very clear result , the opposing ( losing ) party will many times deny the outcome and violence may occur . This violence will be suppressed with more violence ( and tricky legal manoeuvres ) by the ruling party . In the end  that only deepens the division .

May be , the fault is in the system .

If there are elections between , let's say , 2 parties , and one of them wins with 51 % of the votes , the other one get's only 49% and loses , there are still 49% of the electorate who should get to take their part in the future government . The government should consist of members of both parties , ( 49 to 51 % ) and decision of that government should be mutual and voted for by the general assembly .

That appears to be a fairer system and any frictions between the parties that form this government could be resolved in parliament already .

If that does not work , the example of Switzerland by asking the general population to vote for a particular decision of importance , seems to be more democratic .
