Refusing to accept the election result, and a solution under which the current regime remain in power is more likely to destroy Thailand.

no moderate corruption is like a leech...it weakens the country but does not destroy it....Thailand always had corruption and is still doing well.

And there is zero hope that the new government, no matter who and what is not corrupt. They question is only if they pocket 10% or more and if they would do things that directly harm the country for money or if they just take off a bit on every purchase.....There is a speech from Mahathir about Chinese high speed train protects where he explains the numbers...how much got paid on corruption what lines will be beneficial and what line will only bring Malaysia into forever debt....Unfortunately no party in Thailand speaks such truth.

In my opinion there is zero chance that the current regime remains in power.....It will be a democratic elected government....

But we call it different....if some former politician gets some high paying job in a field he has no experience afterwards....Or holds a 20 min speech for $400.000 than this is not corruption it is honestly earned money....

MFP might be a breath of fresh air for the country.
