Up to them, I guess, but what happens when the money stops and the whole economy comes crashing down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if it could get to the point where people are thinking about who will actually be best for the country and for its economy (money), based on the fact that a more successful and prosperous country is good for everyone. I think that is quite far off though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"this is thai politics, no rational thought by the voters and only ways to make themselves richer by the parties", notice I said "thai politics" and "the parties", ie, that includes them all, while the shins are pathetic at best all parties are the same because they all are in it for themselves, what I said applies to them all, none will do what is right by the country to improve it Edited October 10, 2022 by seajae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every country is compatible with it. I wouldn't mind a dictatorship that cascaded the wealth down... These so called Shinwatra martyrs are living in luxury in Dubai and traveling the world, while the so called poor who continually vote for them are still stuck in rice paddies... Do they not have the brains to work out that they are being used? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Thailand was better when Thaksin was PM , but there should be others who are very capable too. New blood to move forward I think is better, than doing the same over and over again. What absolute nonsense. Why not vote for a politician or party you are happy with? Seems you would have to be some sort of moron not to. In my home country I've voted for the same party for >45 years. If they anger me I just don't vote. Most people in democracies do the same. FDR won 4 straight elections in the USA and had he lived longer would have won more. The illegitimate superiority some expats think they have over Thai people is utterly unfounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why? How many of those Isaan people know what qualifications a PM should have? How many of those Isaan people care about that? How many of those Isaan people would be able to recognize a qualified candidate? How many of those Isaan people vote for her just because of her family name and maybe because she looks so nice, just like Yingluck? Or in other words: uneducated incompetent people vote for someone for the wrong reasons. I know that is not only happening in Thailand. And it is sad to see the results of this democracy of the stupid worldwide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
