Assuming that PT is giving the shaft to MFP, I refer to the results of the election, at wilki, which translate into a country, roughly split down the middle. %'s of those casting votes (Ignoring the really small parties' %'s ) PT: 28.86 UTN 12.55 BT 3.00 44.41 MFP 38.01 as far as the number of MP's elected, I don't quite understand how the ''List MP's '' system works. It sure screws up the results, when comparing the %'s of votes a party receives, v.v. the number of MP's elected. For example - BT got 3% of the votes and 14% of the 500 MP's elected. who cares, I guess - most political systems stink I was referring to the percentage of Thais who are eager for political change which the electoral results partly reflect.Fifteen years ago I would have put the percentage higher for those more or less comfortable with the status quo, say 40%. What's changed - apart from the obvious point - is the near universal contempt for military interference in government but also and equally significant, the revolution in the thinking of the young - even the educated wealthy middle class. All very subjective I agree and the resources and cunning of those entrenched in power shouldn't be underestimated.It's a long game.

He was good for Thailand else the majority wouldn’t have kept voting for his party. Landslides victories in successive elections. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''the UN is not my uncle'' or - rejecting any offers of foreign aid after the 2004 tsunami? whilst we fools raised donations abroad? egotistical mf'er. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
