Today's Thai Rath political cartoon: the fortune teller says: "โชคดีที่ (ฮุนเซน)ไม่ตั้งทักษิณเป็นทูตเขมรประจำประเทศไทย...ยุ่งตายเลย!"

Would "That'd be a bloody mess" be too liberal a translation for the ยุ่งตายเลย! ?

...ยุ่งตายเลย!

I think in this context ตาย means 'so', 'a great deal', 'a lot'. Some examples:

ร้อนจะตาย - it's so hot! (I could die)

จะบ้าตาย - I feel so crazy! (I could die)

>>Would "That'd be a bloody mess" be too liberal a translation for the ยุ่งตายเลย! ?

i suppose a newspaper might be more likely to use "...what a mess that would be!" or "...imagine the mess!", but your translation is right nonetheless.

Yes. Most excellent translation (saying it in the voice of Mr. Burns from the Simpsons)

Liberal Socialist = เสรีนิยมสังคมนิยม

This can be used to... Fit's very well...........
