Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, MrMojoRisin said: Is there corruption now? Are criminals running the country now? What planet are you on? It seems you make the same mistakes like many others. The current government is bad, so let's vote for another one - any other one. The problem is that the alternative(s) might not be better. Thaksin divided the country like nobody before him. He is responsible for the red mob and the MiB and lots of dead people. If another Thaksin clone will come to power again nobody should be surprised if history is repeated again. What is so difficult about not voting again for the same known corrupt criminals? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is difficult in Thailand. But just voting again for the same corrupt people will not change anything. So unless the elected government is perfect - it’s better to have the unelected, corrupt criminals in government? How ridiculous. Which path has the best chance of installing a government that is halfway honest - coups or elections? The answer is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaksin and his family are convicted criminals. And the military removed those corrupt governments. Now what will happen when people vote again the same corrupt family? Guess! If the people want peace then maybe they should not vote for known criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANFREL have time and again stated that handouts do not alter the outcome of Thai elections - they’ve found zero evidence of impactful cheating in any of the elections won by Thaksin’s side of politics. Post a link of your evidence - help enlighten us all (unless of course your just parroting the nonsense read on forums posted by racist, misogynistic failures that are to afraid to look at themselves in the mirror).

(Whatever they are.) Nobody said they would not vote for Thaksin’s daughter - you need to work on your comprehension skills a bit there old chum. Those who preferred Sudarat over Paetongtarn would certainly vote for Paetongtarn over Prayuth (or whatever other fascist clown your mob offers up). The real news coming out of the poll - is not the sensationalist, lowest common denominator Paetongtarn angle, but the very clear and very large margin favouring the pro democracy side of Thai politics. Why does it no surprise me that you don’t know what pro democracy is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think people who said they would choose another candidate over Paetongtarn Shinawatra, would still vote for her? Seriously? I think you are the one with a problem with comprehension. The point is, the person you replied to said that 24.9 wasn't a ringing endorsement of Paetongtarn, which is true. You chose to challenge this by saying that a certain amount of people wouldn't vote for the current government, which is obviously irrelevant when discussing how many people supported Paetongtarn (24.9%). 6 minutes ago, MrMojoRisin said: Why does it no surprise me that you don’t know what pro democracy is. LOL. I never said I didn't know what it means (again your comprehension comes into doubt).

I’m not sure you understand anything. My “like” for Thaksin is relative. Thaksin > Prayuth Thanathorn > Thaksin or, put another way Democracy > Coups Thaksin is not the cause of Thailands woes.

I understand that you read a comment, dislike what that comment says, then pretend that the person who made that comment said something that they didn't. Most likely this is because you cannot refute what they say so need to construct a strawman to argue against instead. No one will buy what you're selling.

Popular Post Phnom Penh Trader Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thaksin tried to educate the poor in the North-East and West of Thailand,to put tablets into each child’s hand and make them learn English to a decent standard like neighbouring countries such as Cambodia and the Philippines. His ill-advised policy of cleaning the streets of street kids in the capital was his undoing that ultimately brought him down,probably spurred on and advised by the elites for precisely that reason? So he is wealthy so what,show me a Thai politician that isn’t and I will show you a liar? That is why the people in his home city of Chiang Mai and Isaan will NEVER give up on his family like it or not,as who else has ever shouted their corner (the peasantry) before or since can anybody tell me? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anything ever change for the good whilst they keep the power game to themselves (includes all parties in most countries). I don't know what will be the bigger emotion for me, the glee of seeing the junta boys gone or the sadness of seeing the Thaksin fill my pockets clan return. Look across to the Philippines where the Marcos Dictator Clan have just recently returned to power,to put all of this into perspective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phnom Penh Trader Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 9 hours ago, OneMoreFarang said: I know that Thaksin and at least some people in his family are criminals. He and his sister would be in jail if they wouldn't have run away. Obviously you can join those people who just shout "political prosecution" or you can look at facts and realize that he and his sister were very corrupt criminals. And nobody doubts that his daughter will deliver more of the same. Do you want corruption? Do you want criminals running the country? Then go ahead and vote for her. And just in case you want an honest government then look for honest alternatives. I know that is difficult in Thailand. But just voting again for the same corrupt people will not change anything. Honestly why is Yingluck Shinawatra a criminal,apart from her surname and trumped up charges what crimes has she actually committed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
