Let's pretend that will happen, and let's pretend Thaksin's daughter will be PM. And then?

Another attempted whitewash of the fugitive criminal?

And then?

Will history repeat itself?

 

Obviously Thais should vote who they want to vote for. But think twice about the consequences.

Do they want stability in Thailand? Or more division? 

It is very clear that the current parties in the Government will not be ruling again after the elections.. But Pheu Thai is not the best option as we all know previous Shinawatra PM ended by coups.. Probably the best option is Move Forward.. A totally a new wind blowing is the best

I'd refer that comment to the number of coups in the past !!! Give it 6 months and the spiraling down bank accounts and they'll be back 

As I am almost completely ignorant of Thai politics, will this rid us of PM Chan-o-cha?

They cant possibly be more divided than they are now.

 

What thais really need is an education in democracy and when your side loses how not to throw your toys out the pram like a petulant toddler!

No need to pretend anything, it’s a done deal….gonna be a landslide no amount of military cheating can contain.

 

As for stability, coup after coup obviously doesn’t work, may as well give democracy a go lest we end up with a revolution.

If they have a real election the reds will win. Its been that way for 22 years.

and so it should be! 

the poor deserve a voice just as much as the rich.

 

red is my fave color btw ???? 

I know nothing about Thai politics, but after 30 plus years in this country, it will not make a iota of different to the man in the street, only to to those who will stuff their pockets with more money and attain more powers...

it's amazing what a bit of reading can do for you.

 

you can even read on the bar stool these days! 

The junta boys win every which way. Even if theres a PT landslide, the PT will still need to be paying them off to stop them from causing more future trouble. They are all ultimately in the same bed.

 

Need new blood youngsters (that are ethically motivated rather than morally corrupt) like FF if future change is to be a possibility.

A strange poll.

 

Saying which party you think will win the next election isn't the same thing as saying: I will vote for that party.

Really?

 

There is peace in Bangkok without all those red-shirts. 

 

Yes, the losers should learn. And the winners should also learn that winning a democratic voted doesn't allow them to do anything they want. They are not above the law. And they are not supposed to enrich themselves. And last but not least they are supposed to work for the whole country and not just for part of it.

Those with the most guns will win.

You are totally right, the problem in Thailand as we can see many times that the reality is totally different from what you write...

Election results are already in it cost a fortune at 300bt a pop but which general will it be is the only unanswered question ????

Possibly what you see is different from what I see. But that doesn't mean what I see (in Bangkok) is incorrect.

Any election will end the present PM rule.

 

This country's problem is that it votes for figureheads and is used to being ruled by the military.

 

I think the best thing for this country would be a minority PT government, with the second big party being Move Forward if these 2 parties work together, MF would get a chance to get its feet wet in the cabinet world.  It would also prevent the PT from ruling without any leash.

 

A win that gives any party full control  of the government is going to be bad for Thailand.

Hate to tell you this but they really do not care about you.  You can't vote.

That's great news.

I hope all those red-shirts will remember that and next time they want to protest, in peace or with violence, looting and arson, they should do that somewhere far away from Bangkok.

That's also good for them and the environment because then they don't have to travel so far.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.....??

all those 'red-shirts' had every right to be on the streets when they were.

 

They had their democratic vote stolen from them by the yellow elites!

 

These people were well within there rights to protest, the yellow mob had no right whatsoever. There was no corruption. Unless you can provide proof?

I think you wrote more.... and my comment is not for the red shirts on street in Bangkok but what you wrote next

 

meanwhile another "SuperPoll" insists that Anutin willbe the most popular choice for PM.  So I presume he will join the Pheu Thai party soon?......
