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

 

That's what I also wrote: 

"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."

 

So which part of that is incorrect?

To be honest anyone who gets this present lot out is okay by me.

That's what we though when the present lot removed the last lot... 

 

And it seems the be a worldwide phenomenon: This one is bad, so the next one must be better.

No, unfortunately that is often not true.

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

Not unless he wants to go, the unelected PM is the one with the soldiers, tanks and guns.

That they are always above the law or they bend the laws with their envelopes.. And not working for the country but for themselves.. No examples??? They should learn yes, but the reality is different as I wrote.. In Thailand nobody learns

Great. 

 

Unfortunately the whole thing is rigged.

Actually, it's never been the case - replacing the relative evil with the supposed goodness. 

Been the cycle of power hungry Ammat elitist/militarist for ages - since time immemorial. 

Contrary to all the warm and fuzzy hopeful idealists out there, this practice ain't gonna change anytime soon or the distant future.

Yet, not the one that truly controls the soldiers, tanks and guns. 

That privilege belongs to a more influential circle and has little to to do with unelected, appointed or duly elected PMs.

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

The best option is that the party which wins the most seats forms the government. That is how parliamentary democracy works.

 

Looking for best options, considering consequences and looking for stability are basically casting around for reasons to ignore the vote.

a parliamentary democracy.... indeed the party with the most votes wins forms the Government. However in Thailand is much manipulation of votes because certain persons want to be/stay in power, that it is very difficult to choose the ones you want. Vote buying is normal, although nobody admit it and the losers can't and will not take their loss and a new coup is waiting again. That is not a democracy, as Mr Prayuth said.. Thailand has its own democracy, you can't compare it with others...To get a real democracy powers of certain people and organisations should be limited.
