Wondering if anyone can see any such difference between political identities. 

Local politician is taking 300 supporters on a river cruise on Saturday, must be an election coming up, hand outs were a few weeks ago.

Can anyone tell me what the policies are for each of the parties

Take as much as you can for as long as you can after buying enough votes then do it all again 5 years later ????

All this new party creation, re-branding and hopping is the "real" election being decided at a slower pace. Well that and ham-stringing any opposition.

 

 

The actualy voting by the public will be irrelevant.

Thai politics works so well without the complications and confusions caused by "Policies"..... Policies would just confuse the electorate.

You can find it on their websites and billboards.

 

Usually limited to one ~ three main planks, unsually involving giving something free to the public.

 

Prawit/UTN is spouting about "reconcilliation".

 

The last time any policy was promoted and implemented? BJT with Cannabis normalization.

 

So don't hold your breath.
