Anti-corruption Coup

[Chloe82]

The only party any serious voter could possibly vote for would be the Democrats, however you will no doubt have the peasants out in force voting the other way for a drop of whisky.

Dear Marie Antoinette,

Which is your best side? I'm sure the peasants will accede to your 'demand' for a fair-skinned photo just prior to lopping-off..It could be displayed at Paragon, with a whif of special perfume..touted by one of the poor-but-long-legged 8,000 baht per month lovelies..

I'm sure all the hi-so Nation and Bangkok Post editors will step forward upon reading this right? (by the way, why do all their names start with 'na' or have a hyphon? - just wonderin..)

Please clarify what you implying.

*bump*

Come on, it's not that hard. He feels The Nation and Bangkok Post are touting the Middle Class / "Democrat" Party line.

And so do I. Especially The Nation.

Yes I'm suggesting exactly that - and I agree The Nation is the most obvious (shame cause otherwise it's a good rag).

The upper classes and upper middle classes are petrified. You can almost feel it. And when these priviledged people and their unjustifiably rich paws and grand-paws who made their money through (hmm...we can't actually say that or go down that road can we?).. realise they may be in for a re-run of the last political-power session, then it looking very scary for all. Why? Cause they won't let it happen..This is where the 'conciliation' is supposed to happen...problem is, they expect the populist-poor supporters to do all the "conciliation' (you know, "Our general-daddy's won this fight - so now you must prostrate! and we're off to Greyhound for dinner -- Jaew!!!")

Anyway - look, this is all an academic post I'll admit - cause just like the Thai-vs-English media here - the Thai media never reports a word of this kind of debate..so it's harmless to the hi-so's. And of course they know that.

Sorry, but this is the clarification I was referring to:

Wiki:

The preposition "na" (ณ) is added to geographical names to create a last name indicative of membership within the nobility.

How many writers of either paper does this apply to?

LOL... Well that's a gem.

Or maybe she's just Southern.. Anyway I know plenty very serious voters who aren't going to be touching the "Democrats" (not the quote marks) with a bargepole, and rightly so.
